Difficulty distinguishing autonomic from respiratory causes of sudden death in GBS cautions attribution to vasomotor dysfunction; leaves open independent mechanisms for study.
Highlights the potential role of vasomotor and cardiac dysfunction in sudden death among patients with Landry-Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Appenzeller et al. (1963) studied Landry-Guillain-Barre syndrome. Vasomotor disturbance was evaluated. Vasomotor and cardiac dysfunction are difficult to evaluate as independent causes of sudden death in Landry-Guillain-Barré syndrome due to frequent accompanying respiratory failure.
