Cardiovascular autonomic responses in patients with Parkinson disease to pedunculopontine deep brain stimulation

ConclusionPPN stimulation can modulate the cardiovascular system in patients with PD. In this study, it reduced the postural fall in systolic blood pressure during head-up tilt and improved the cardiovascular response during Valsalva, presumably by altering the neural control of baroreflex activation.
