The group highly agrees with the research, as evidenced by supportive statements such as 'worked better than medications for me,' and detailed references to how compression garments, especially full tights with abdominal binders, can significantly lower heart rates. The tone is positive and enthusiastic, emphasizing practical benefits and future implications for POTS treatment.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions are highly supportive of the research, with many acknowledging the effectiveness of compression garments and praising the findings.
InterestHigh interest
Participants demonstrate strong interest, referencing specific details like heart rate reductions and comparing compression therapy favorably to medication.
EngagementHigh engagement
The discussions show deep engagement through mentions of implementing the treatment, sharing personal experiences, and citing related research, indicating thorough consideration.
ImpactHigh impact
The shared discussions reflect a high impact, as participants suggest practical applications, emphasize the importance of these findings for treatment options, and recognize the potential to improve quality of life for POTS patients.
Abstract in brief
This study investigated how different compression garments, especially abdominal and full lower body types, can help reduce heart rate and improve symptoms in adults with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) during a tilt test.
The results showed that compression garments, particularly full abdominal and lower body compression, significantly lowered heart rate and enhanced blood flow, helping to manage POTS symptoms more effectively.
Overall, abdominal and lower body compression may serve as useful treatments for POTS, especially when full lower body compression isn't tolerated, by improving blood circulation and reducing orthostatic symptoms.]
New research in @jaccjournals by @katebournebsc @satish_r_raj @teamsrraj. Body compression improves orthostatic tachycardia and symptoms in patients diagnosed with POTS.

Demuestran que un dispositivo que comprime piernas y abdomen mejora síntomas en personas con síndrome de taquicardia exagerada con el ortostatismo (POT). Es una entidad mal conocida y probablemente debida a disfunción del sistema nervioso autónomo.

7. Autonomic dysregulation such as POTS, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension prevent cardiac filling with upright position, impair exercise function. Often the only therapy that works is "abdominal compression"➡️increase preload.

This episode discusses various compression garments, how to wear them, and available aids. It also explains barometric and water pressure effects on the body, helping those with POTS, ME/CVS, and related conditions…
This video discusses autonomic complications, including POTS, following COVID-19 infection, emphasizing diagnosis challenges and the importance of understanding underlying causes for effective treatment.
@LinnJarte @Prof_J_Lawton Argh. There’s research. Full length 30-40mmhg tights with abdominal binder resulted in drop in heart rate of 15-20 bpm. Worked better than medications for me. https://t.co/1GN13Xc2zP

@Nick_Wellings My words! Especially since socks alone won't help all that much. You would need full-on tights. No idea how one can manage to put those on without PEM.
But, you could also try abdominal compression alone. That's better than socks.
