Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) often Co-Curcur With Mast Cell Activation Disorders (MCADs) and HerediDary Alpha Tryptasemia (HAT), But Evidence Supporting This link is unconnear.
Researchers conducted a prospective study to assess mcads and hat prevalence in patients with eds or pots
Then Systematically Searched Medline (Ovid), Ovid (Ovid), Scopus, and Web of Science with a Medical Librarian’s Assistance, Focusing On Patients with Mcad or Hat and Pots or Eds.
The Results Showed 200 Records Screened, 107 Excluded by Title or Abstract, 92 Full Texts Reviewed, and One Not Retrieved. No Studies Met the Primary Criterion of Mcad Or Hat with Pots or Eds Per Pre-Specified Criteria.
Investigators Found in Evidence Confirming A Relationship Beteen Mcads, Hat, Pots, and Eds, But One Study Suggesteed A Possible Association with Mcas. FURTHER RESEARCH USING STUT AND VALIDATED DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA WAS NEEDED TO CLARIFY THIS POTENTIAL LINK.
