Restoring Iron Deficiency in POTS
Conditions: POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
Sex: Female
Ages: 18 Years – 45 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE2
Enrollment: 12
Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Location: Autonomic Dysfunction Center/ Vanderbilt University Medical Center Nashville Tennessee
Summary
People with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) often have low red blood cell volumes and low ferritin in their blood (a marker of iron storage in the body). The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate whether giving iron to people with POTS who have low ferritin levels will increase the red blood cell volume and improve POTS symptoms.
Eligibility Criteria

* Age 18-45 years old.
* Diagnosis of POTS, defined by a sustained heart rate increase of at least 30 bpm within 10 min of standing or head-up tilt (or absolute upright heart rate \>120 bpm), in the absence of orthostatic hypotension, and with at least 3 months of symptoms of orthostatic intolerance.
