Best Info For Doctors?

Hi all!

I'm going to a cardiologist tomorrow who doesn't know about POTS. This is because my specialist lives in another country and I need an ECG pronto. I forwarded some excerpts from dinet and vanderbilt websites to a mutual friend of the doctor, who is also a cardiologist and likewise had never heard about POTS. But I was wondering what websites are considered most reliable and informative for a doctor audience? Maybe the medical people in the forum can shed some light or make some recommendations. If there's a better source than the ones I've used, I'll take a print out with me to the doctor tomorrow.

Thanks,

Masumeh

Hi Masumeh,

The above website is the "National Institute of Neruological Disorders and Stroke" part of the USA "National Institutes of Health" it has a very concise overview of POTS which would be very easily understood by a physician - my GP said that this was the most useful thing on POTS that I gave to him as it was short but allowed him to get a snap-shot idea of what the condition was.
