INTRODUCTION
Postural tachycardia syndrome is a form of orthostatic intolerance that often leads to functional impairment.
METHODS
This survey explored functional status and impact of symptoms in adults ( = 958) ages 18 to 60 (M = 32.63 ± 10.52 years, 96.7% female) with postural tachycardia syndrome.
RESULTS
Individuals reported an average of 11 daily life activities impacted by postural tachycardia syndrome with high levels of self-perceived disability. Additionally, 93.4% reported some degree of cognitive impairment and falls occurred in 55.3% of participants annually. Despite frequent falls and functional impairment, participants infrequently (26.9%) utilized therapy services.
CONCLUSION
Individuals with postural tachycardia syndrome are at an increased risk of experiencing disability and often require assistance with daily activities. Further research is necessary to understand the potential role of therapy in improving function and quality of life.
引言
体位性心动过速综合征是一种直立不耐受形式，常导致功能障碍。
方法
本调查探讨了18至60岁（平均年龄M = 32.63 ± 10.52岁，96.7%为女性）的958例体位性心动过速综合征成人患者的功能状态及症状影响。
结果
个体报告平均有11项日常生活活动受到体位性心动过速综合征影响，自我感知残疾程度较高。此外，93.4%的人报告有一定程度的认知障碍，每年55.3%的参与者发生跌倒。尽管频繁跌倒和功能障碍，但参与者很少（26.9%）使用治疗服务。
结论
体位性心动过速综合征患者出现残疾的风险增加，且日常生活活动常需要帮助。有必要进一步研究以了解治疗在改善功能和生活质量方面的潜在作用。
