Selected autonomic signs and symptoms as risk markers for phenoconversion and functional dependence in prodromal Parkinson ’s disease
ConclusionsSymptoms of gastrointestinal and female sexual dysfunction predict phenoconversion in individuals with other risk markers for PD, while signs and symptoms of cardiovascular dysfunction may be associated with functional decline. (Source: Clinical Autonomic Research)

Burden of caregiving for cardiovascular dysautonomia in Parkinson ’s disease
ConclusionThese results highlight the significant impact of cAN on PD caregivers and the need for targeted interventions addressing this frequently overlooked and insufficiently treated source of nonmotor disability in PD. (Source: Clinical Autonomic Research)

Self-recorded heart rate variability profiles are associated with health and lifestyle markers in young adults
ConclusionsHigher or more stable supine and standing HRV were generally associated with superior health and lifestyle markers in males and females. These findings lay groundwork for future investigation into the usefulness of self-recorded ultra-short HRV as a health-promoting behavior-modification tool in young adults.

The relationship between cardiac damage biomarkers and heart rate variability following 60  min of running
ConclusionsThe correlation between HRV and cardiac biomarkers indicates that HRV analysis may be an alternative approach to determine the magnitude of cardiac stress after endurance exercises. (Source: Clinical Autonomic Research)

Recent advances in establishing fluid biomarkers for the diagnosis and differentiation of alpha-synucleinopathies – a mini review
AbstractThe clinical differentiation between multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson ’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), as well as the distinction between these synucleinopathies from other neurodegenerative disorders can be challenging, particularly at early disease stages or when the presentation is atypical. That is also true for predicting the fate of patients w ith limited or prodromal forms of synucleinopathies such as pure autonomic failure (PAF) or idiopathic REM-sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) which are known to be at risk of developing MSA, PD, or DLB. After discussing current classification conc...

Cardiovascular adjustments to cold pressor test in postmenopausal women and the impact of α1-adrenergic blockade
ConclusionIn postmenopausal women, the cardiac ability to adjust to CPT is blunted and α1-adrenergic receptor stimulation is important for the increase in stroke volume. In addition, the peripheral effect of α1-adrenergic receptor stimulation seems to be increased in postmenopausal women. (Source: Clinical Autonomic Research)
