EDS society has good descriptions of each type on their page. Vascular type is more severe vascular issues. HEDS doesn't really have as much of that. POTS is thought to be neurological/ nervous system dysfunction, but it can be related to some level of venous inssufficeincy I believe... however vEDS is more about fragility of organs that are prone to rupture
