Practical Management of POTS and Related Dysautonomias: A field guide for resource limited clinical care - Paperback

by Elizabeth Crnp Clark (Author)

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and related dysautonomias are increasingly recognized-but still frequently missed or mismanaged in everyday clinical practice.

Patients often present with complex, overlapping symptoms including orthostatic intolerance, tachycardia, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, and autonomic instability-often despite normal routine testing.

The POTS Clinical Field Guide is a practical, clinician-focused resource designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world care.

This guide emphasizes rapid recognition, efficient evaluation, and actionable management strategies that can be implemented even in resource-limited settings.

Inside you'll find:

• A clear, step-by-step diagnostic approach to orthostatic intolerance and dysautonomia
• Practical interpretation of the 10-minute stand test and orthostatic vital signs
• Symptom-guided treatment strategies for POTS and related conditions
• Medication reference tables used in clinical dysautonomia management
• Sodium, fluid, and volume expansion strategies
• Clinical pearls and quick-reference tools for busy providers

Designed for primary care clinicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, emergency clinicians, residents, and specialists, this guide helps translate emerging dysautonomia knowledge into practical, everyday clinical decision-making.

The goal is simple: help clinicians recognize autonomic disorders sooner, treat more effectively, and improve quality of life for patients living with dysautonomia.
