Autonomic dysfunction occurs in RCM akin to DCM; small observational data leaves open its prognostic value and therapeutic implications.
Are autonomic and neurovascular controls altered in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy compared to healthy subjects?

Sayegh et al. (2017) studied this question.
