Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular responses as a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) disturbances in patients with untreated Parkinson's disease (PD) and to assess the relationship between them and the clinical characteristics of PD. The ANS functions were investigated in 50 patients with PD and 55 healthy subjects by measuring standard cardiovascular autonomic reflexes and heart rate variability (HRV) at rest using spectral analysis (the autoregressive model and the fast Fourier transformation), the percentage of the counts of beat-to-beat variation greater than 50 ms and the fractal dimension. Significantly attenuated HRV and deficient blood pressure reaction to tilting were found in the PD patient group. The patients with hypokinesia/rigidity as the initial symptom of PD had a more pronounced HRV deficit than those with tremor onset. Untreated PD patients suffer significant failure in cardiovascular nervous system regulation, and in patients with hypokinesia/rigidity as their initial disease manifestation the risk of this ANS dysfunction is high. However, in the early stages of PD these changes did not reach significance at individual level.

  • Prominent changes in 24-hour rhythms of heart rate and blood pressure have been repeatedly reported in Parkinson's disease.

  • Studies report reversal of the normal diurnal rhythm of blood pressure with increased diurnal variability of blood pressure and elevations of overnight blood pressure, along with loss of diurnal heart rate variability and a disappearance of the sympathetic morning peak in Parkinson's disease.

    “These studies report reversal of the normal diurnal rhythm of BP with increased diurnal variability of BP and elevations of overnight BP along with loss of diurnal HR variability and a disappearance of the sympathetic morning peak (Haapaniemi et al., 2001, Kallio et al., 2000, Kallio et al., 2004, Mastrocola et al., 1999).”

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.
