The Pathogenesis and Treatment of Cardiovascular Autonomic Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: What We Know and Where to Go.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunctions (CAD) are prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD). It contributes to the development of cognitive dysfunction, falls and even mortality. Significant progress has been achieved in the last decade. However, the underlying mechanisms and effective treatments for CAD have not been established yet.
