Treatment of Refractory Postural Tachycardia Syndrome with Subcutaneous Octreotide Delivered Using an Insulin Pump

الملخص EN

Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) represents a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that results in symptoms of orthostatic intolerance.

Despite having a severe impact on the patient’s quality of life, the current treatment options for PoTS are based on limited evidence.

Subsequently, this results in clinicians having to utilise a variety of treatment regimens in the hope of successfully providing symptomatic relief.

However, the options available for PoTS are not without significant side effects that can worsen an already debilitating condition.

Our cases provide a further novel treatment option for clinicians to consider in PoTS refractory to established treatments.
