Hypothesis-generating for autonomic assessment in Parkinson's disease; should not yet change practice pending prospective studies.
Observational (n=47)
In patients with Parkinson's disease, the severity of autonomic dysfunction correlates with diminished cardiovascular reflexes and blunted plasma noradrenaline responses to standing.
Jukka Turkka (2008) conducted an observational in Parkinson's disease (n=47). Autonomic nervous system dysfunction was evaluated on Correlation between severity of autonomic dysfunction and cardiovascular reflexes/plasma noradrenaline response. In 47 patients with Parkinson's disease, autonomic dysfunction severity correlated significantly with diminished cardiovascular reflexes and slightly with plasma noradrenaline response to standing.
