Oral medications for the treatment of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome; a systematic review of studies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic by Benjamin C. Pierson, Kyle Apilado, Kyle Apilado, M. Alaric Franzos, M. Alaric Franzos, Rhonda Allard, James D. Mancuso, David Tribble, David Tribble, David Saunders, Tracey Perez Koehlmoos, Tracey Perez Koehlmoos

“…Ivabradine and midodrine demonstrated the highest rate of symptomatic improvement, while beta-blockers showed the largest reduction in heart rate variability. Limited evidence was available for PASC-associated POTS, but findings suggest that treatments may have similar efficacy in both PASC and non-PASC cases.ConclusionIvabradine, midodrine, and beta-blockers currently appear to be reasonable front-line choices in pharmacologic management of POTS (PASC associated and otherwise). …”
