Hypotensive episodes at 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring predict adverse outcomes in Parkinson’s disease

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a frequent nonmotor feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD), associated with adverse outcomes. Recently, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) showed good acc...

Kinematic but not clinical measures predict falls in Parkinson-related orthostatic hypotension

We sought to test the hypothesis that technology could predict the risk of falls in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH) with greater accuracy than in-clinic assessment.

Detection of orthostatic hypotension with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in parkinson’s disease

We sought to test the accuracy of 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) for the detection of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). A total of 113 patients referred for a...

Blood pressure circadian rhythm alterations in alpha-synucleinopathies

We sought to analyze the blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm in Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and pure autonomic failure (PAF) and to evaluate the effect of vasoactive and dopaminer...

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and falls in Parkinson disease: a prospective cohort study

Falls represent one of the main complications of Parkinson’s disease (PD), significantly lowering quality of life. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (cAN) is one of the key contributing factors to PD-associa...

Cardiovascular complications in patients with autonomic failure

Patients with autonomic failure are characterized by orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, high blood pressure variability, blunted heart rate variability, and often have a “non-dip**” or “reverse di...

Arrhythmic syncope in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension: two case reports

Patients with autonomic failure experience orthostatic hypotension (OH) often leading to syncope. Arrhythmias may cause severe syncope, characterized by an increased risk of mortality. We report two cases of p...

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension as the initial feature of Parkinson disease

Autonomic failure is a common finding in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Here we describe a patient with PD in whom autonomic symptoms began 3 years before motor deficits.

Sympathetic hyperactivity in patients with ulcerative colitis

Hypo and hyperactivity of the autonomic nervous system have been associated with chronic bowel inflammation diseases. We investigated the autonomic function in 11 patients with chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) ...

Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric function in primary autonomic neuropathy

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in diabetic patients has been related to impaired gastric clearance of bacteria due to autonomic neuropathy. Gastrointestinal dysfunction has been described in primary autonomi...

The effects of exposure to moderate altitude on cardiovascular autonomic function in normal subjects

Cardiovascular responses to altitude have been studied on well-trained young subjects, generally at high altitudes (>4000 m). Less known are the effects of exposure to lower altitudes, easily reached by the ge...
