The cardiovascular profile of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome + Ehlers-Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (POTS + EDSIII) has not been described, despite suggestions that it plays a role in orthostatic intolerance. We studied nine individuals diagnosed with POTS + EDSIII and found that the arterial stiffness and cardiac profiles of patients with POTS + EDSIII were comparable to those of age- and sex-matched controls, suggesting an alternate explanation for orthostatic intolerance.
尽管有观点认为体位性直立性心动过速综合征合并埃勒斯-当洛综合征高活动型（POTS + EDSIII）在直立不耐受中起作用，但尚未对其心血管特征进行描述。我们研究了9名被诊断为POTS + EDSIII的个体，发现POTS + EDSIII患者的动脉僵硬度和心脏特征与年龄和性别匹配的对照组相当，这为直立不耐受提供了另一种解释。
