Controls included patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and healthy participants. Analyzed data included surveys and autonomic (Valsalva maneuver, deep breathing, sudomotor, and tilt tests), cerebrovascular (cerebral blood flow velocity [CBFv] monitoring in middle cerebral artery), respiratory (capnography monitoring), and neuropathic (skin biopsies for assessment of small fiber neuropathy) testing and inflammatory\/autoimmune markers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nine patients with PASC were evaluated 0.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3\u2009years after a mild COVID\u201019 infection, and were treated as home observations. Autonomic, pain, brain fog, fatigue, and dyspnea surveys were abnormal in PASC and POTS (n\u00a0=\u00a010), compared with controls (n\u00a0=\u00a015). Tilt table test reproduced the majority of PASC symptoms. Orthostatic CBFv declined in PASC (\u221220.0\u2009\u00b1\u200913.4%) and POTS (\u221220.3\u2009\u00b1\u200915.1%), compared with controls (\u22123.0\u2009\u00b1\u20097.5%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) and was independent of end\u2010tidal carbon dioxide in PASC, but caused by hyperventilation in POTS. Reduced orthostatic CBFv in PASC included both subjects without (n\u00a0=\u00a06) and with (n\u00a0=\u00a03) orthostatic tachycardia. Dysautonomia was frequent (100% in both PASC and POTS) but was milder in PASC (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002). PASC and POTS cohorts diverged in frequency of small fiber neuropathy (89% vs 60%) but not in inflammatory markers (67% vs 70%).
