Research Focus
Dr. Steven A. Vernino's lab focuses on understanding Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes disabling symptoms in patients when they stand up. The lab is dedicated to identifying different subtypes of POTS through detailed patient studies, which involve various assessments and exercise responses. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment plans, helping patients manage their condition more effectively.
