Stimulant medication and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: a tale of two cases

William P Cheshire. Clin Auton Res. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Stimulant medication may mimic the tachycardia of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Two case histories illustrate how missing the clinical distinction between a primary dysautonomia and a medication effect may have avoidable adverse consequences.

Keywords: Central nervous system stimulants; Isoproterenol; Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome; Tachycardia; Tilt table test.
