Abstract

A middle-aged woman was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome based on her clinical symptoms, elevated norepinephrine levels and positive tilt-table test. The patient was refractory to conventional treatment and improved only after she was treated with methylated B vitamins for her heterozygous catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met polymorphism.
