鈥淢ystery Illnesses Affecting Millions: Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and Long COVID鈥�
Dr. Cathy Pederson
Elizabeth E. Powelson Endowed Chair in Biology
果冻传媒 University
Dr. Pederson joined 果冻传媒鈥檚 faculty in 1995 and teaches a variety of courses that are related to the health professions. While challenging, students enjoy these courses as they hone their knowledge about human anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology.
Dr. Pederson鈥檚 current research interest is in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) which is a neurological disorder that affects the autonomic (automatic) nervous system. The symptoms of POTS include increase in heart rate >40 beats per minute when moving from sitting to standing, dizziness, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and neuropathic pain. She is the founder of Standing Up To POTS, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money for POTS research and educating people in the medical profession and in the community about this disorder.
