Cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction concurrent with cardiac sympathetic denervation in Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: It is concluded that cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction occurs concurrent with sympathetic denervation as revealed by (123)I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in PD and contributes to the development of orthostatic hypotension.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is revealed that RBD is a frequent non-motor symptom in Japanese patients with PD, which may precede the onset of motor symptoms, and RBD that increases with the duration and severity of PD may be associated with autonomic dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
