Protein changes in blood plasma help distinguish pre-COVID postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, Long COVID, and Long COVID with POTS: a preliminary study

Updated

Abstract

Amyloidogenic fibrinaloid microclot complexes (FMCs) were previously identified in Long COVID patients.

  • PC-POTS, LC-IOH, and LC-POTS are chronic post-viral conditions associated with debilitating symptoms.
  • Routine laboratory findings are often normal in patients with these conditions.
  • It is uncertain whether similar abnormalities to those found in Long COVID occur in PC-POTS and LC-POTS.
  • The role of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the mechanisms of these diseases is not yet clear.
