Measure
Placebo in Arm A, Ivabradine in Arm B
In the first Arm, Patient will consume one placebo pill twice a day for one month. After the first arm, there will be a one-week washout. After washout, the patient will commence Arm B where they consume ne dose of ivabradine twice a day for one month. Placebo: A substance that has no therapeutic effect and will act as a control. In the second arm, patient will consume one dose of Ivabradine twice a day for one month. Ivabradine: Ivabradine is prescribed for treatment of chronic heart failure through inhibition of the f-channels (If) within the sinoatrial node.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and one month post-treatment

Population: In total, 22 patients with hyperadrenergic POTS as the predominant subtype completed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with ivabradine. Patients were randomized to start either ivabradine or placebo for 1 month, and then were crossed over to the other treatment for 1 month. Heart rate, QOL, and plasma NE levels were measured at baseline and at the end of each treatment month.

Orthostatic heart rate monitoring will be used to gauge heart rate changes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and one month post-treatment

Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) The SF-36 has 36 questions and is an indicator of overall health status and is well-validated. The SF-36 has eight scaled scores; the scores are weighted sums of the questions in each section. The total score on the SF-36 ranges from 0 - 100 Lower scores = more disability, higher scores = less disability Sections: Vitality Physical functioning Bodily pain General health perceptions Physical role functioning Emotional role functioning Social role functioning Mental health
