This a talk I gave to the GA ACC November 20, 2024 about POTS. Thanks to the #GACC for the opportunity. https://t.co/8IMK0azyUh

@dysclinic This is great! We are getting closer to the realization that orthostatic tolerance/pots and MECFS both are very frequent in patients with connective tissue disorders. They are likely part of the same disorder, looked at from different perspective.

@valeria_iodice_ That is outstanding!! Good luck!!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@oxford_eliza I do not see the text message.

@oxford_eliza I believe that having content for cardiologists would help them understand more, and certainly help the patients.

Where did you send the text message?

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@oxford_eliza Thanks so much! There was a great response from the audience but most cardiologists don’t understand POTS. I proposed starting an Autonomic division of the American College of Cardiology, and I have started the process.

@EYemmCoon Congrats!!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

I would only say that as an autonomic cardiologist , many cardiologists do not know how to interpret tilt tests. When possible, it is important to review the raw data . I have seen many interpretations that are incorrect on tilt tests performed by cardiologists with both undercall and overcall.

@kevinolearytv
Great and honest interview on CNN!!

@amyrochlin Reach out to Laura Pace. Best there is.

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@PaulBeachDOPhD @NIH_LRP @NIH_NINDS Congratulations!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@dysclinic I totally agree with you. Possible overlapping symptoms at times but entirely different physiology.

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@CortDoesScience So awesome!!! Great work!!!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@BluesteinLinda Most patients tell me that the rheumatologists who see them don’t “believe” in EDS. I tell them it is not a religion. We need EDS specialists.

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@LibinInstitute @TeamSRRaj @satish_r_raj @jacquie__baker Congratulations!!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@knidac @MayoGIMFL @TheEDSociety @ehlersdanlosuk That’s a great paper! Congratulations!

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@dysclinic Those are great. The interpretations are usually accurate but conservative such as “possible afib”.

[Howard Snapper @howardsnapper]

@cyndyashibao1 Congratulations!! That is outstanding!!

@Dysautonomia Funny post!

However, in reality beta blockers are about the 4th line of therapy and I find atenolol to be one of the least effective of the beta blockers.
