Abstract

Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction has frequently been reported in some patients with extrapyramidal syndromes, especially multiple system atrophy (MSA) but also Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there are only few reports on the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction progressive in supranuclear palsy (PSP). Moreover, the relation of detailed cardiovascular testing and easy to assess 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) is not known. Our study evaluates 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring in patients with PD, PSP, MSA, and corresponding controls (Con) and relates the findings to the results of comprehensive cardiovascular autonomic testing. Twenty-three patients with PD, 25 patients with PSP, 25 patients with MSA, and 26 corresponding controls were studied by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in comparison to cardiovascular autonomic testing. Patients with PD, PSP, and MSA presented frequently with a pathological nocturnal BP regulation (no decrease or even an increase of nocturnal BP) in comparison to the control group (PD 48%, PSP 40%, MSA 68% vs. Con 8%). In MSA and PD patients, the frequent pathological BP increase during night was closely correlated to orthostatic hypotension. Since loss of nocturnal BP fall is frequent in patients with extrapyramidal syndromes, even if they are free of subjective autonomic dysfunction, we recommend 24-hour ABPM as an easy to perform screening test, especially if detailed autonomic testing is not available. Pathological loss of nocturnal BP fall may account for increased cardiovascular mortality in extrapyramidal syndromes.

  • OH is frequently associated with a nocturnal 'non-dipping' or even 'reverse-dipping' BP pattern in patients with autonomic failure, with relevant therapeutic and prognostic implications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
