Living with symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, heart palpitations, post-exercise malaise, Raynaud's syndrome or long-COVID symptoms? You could be experiencing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a complex condition caused by autonomic nervous system dysregulation.
Endorsed by the Australian POTS Foundation, The Malmö POTS Score (MAPS) is a validated diagnostic tool for assessing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
In a study of POTS patients versus healthy controls, “the optimal cut-off value to discriminate between POTS and healthy controls was a total MAPS score of ≥42, yielding excellent sensitivity (97%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89–0.99) and specificity (98%; 95% CI 0.89–0.99)."
