Dysautonomia International was asked by the George Mason University ACHIEVES Project to provide a lecture on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) during a conference last November.  ACHIEVES is a collaboration between George Mason University and the Prince William County Public Schools that seeks to educate teachers, school nurses, coaches, and certified athletic trainers on health issues related to school aged children in sports.

Dr. Peter Rowe, noted POTS researcher and pediatric cardiologist from Johns Hopkins, once again graciously donated his time and talents to Dysautonomia International to provide a lecture on POTS during the ARCHIVES conference.

While watching the video, you may notice a sign on the podium that states “Preventing Sudden Death in School Aged Athletes.”  Please note that POTS is not associated with sudden death.  This was another topic covered at the same conference.

Dysautonomia International would like to thank the George Mason University ACHIEVES Project and Dr. Rowe for providing this excellect educational opportunity.
