Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38169. [PMID: 38728450 PMCID: PMC11081604 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
We investigated the correlation of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson disease (PD) with the disease course and severity, and its possible impact on quality of life. 171 PD patients were recruited and divided into the PD-NOH (n = 91) and PD-OH groups (n = 80). Clinical data were collected. The severity and quality of life of PD patients were evaluated. The impact of disease severity was analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The ROC curve was plotted. There were significant differences (P < .05) between PD-NOH and PD-OH groups in terms of the disease course, non-motor symptoms (somnipathy), Hoehn&Yahr stage, LEDD score, RBDSQ score, PDQ-39 score, MMSE score, MoCA, MDS-UPDRS Part III scores during off- and on-periods, and NMSS score. Hoehn&Yahr stage (OR 4.950, 95% CI 1.516-16.157, P = .008) was closely associated with the risk of OH in PD. PDQ-39 score (OR 1.079, 95% CI 1.033-1.127, P = .001) in PD patients with OH further decreased. Patients with PD-OH experienced severe impairment in 4 dimensions of quality of life, including motor function, cognitive function, physical discomfort, and activities of daily living. Different clinical symptoms of PD-OH were positively correlated with PDQ39 subscales. The area under the ROC curve of the Hoehn&Yahr stage in predicting the occurrence of OH was 0.679 (95% CI 0.600-0.758), and that of the Hoehn&Yahr stage combined with levodopa equivalent dose, and MDS-UPDRS Part III score during off-period was 0.793 (95% CI 0.727-0.862). Higher Hoehn&Yahr stage is associated with increased risk of OH in PD patients, and deteriorated quality of life of PD patients. Patients with different OH symptoms are affected in different dimensions of their quality of life. The Hoehn & Yahr stage can independently predict the risk of OH in PD patients.

Electrocardiographic approach strategies in patients with Parkinson disease treated with deep brain stimulation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1265089. [PMID: 38682099 PMCID: PMC11047133 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1265089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an interdisciplinary and reversible therapy that uses high-frequency electrical stimulation to correct aberrant neural pathways in motor and cognitive neurological disorders. However, the high frequency of the waves used in DBS can interfere with electrical recording devices (e.g., electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, cardiac monitor), creating artifacts that hinder their interpretation. The compatibility of DBS with these devices varies and depends on factors such as the underlying disease and the configuration of the neurostimulator. In emergencies where obtaining an electrocardiogram is crucial, the need for more consensus on reducing electrical artifacts in patients with DBS becomes a significant challenge. Various strategies have been proposed to attenuate the artifact generated by DBS, such as changing the DBS configuration from monopolar to bipolar, temporarily deactivating DBS during electrocardiographic recording, applying frequency filters both lower and higher than those used by DBS, and using non-standard leads. However, the inexperience of medical personnel, variability in DBS models, or the lack of a controller at the time of approach limit the application of these strategies. Current evidence on their reproducibility and efficacy is limited. Due to the growing elderly population and the rising utilization of DBS, it is imperative to create electrocardiographic methods that are easily accessible and reproducible for general physicians and emergency services.

Parkinson's disease patients with absence of normal dipping status were more vulnerable to cognitive impairment from the early stages. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 121:106013. [PMID: 38364621 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of cognitive function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with different dipping statuses. METHODS Consecutive PD patients were recruited for this study. All participants underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM). Corresponding scales were employed to evaluate both motor and non-motor symptoms. The subjects were categorized into reverse, reduced, normal, and extreme dipping groups based on dipping patterns. Additionally, they were divided into early and non-early stage groups according to the disease duration being more than 5 years. RESULTS The proportions of the four dipping groups in the early and non-early stage groups exhibited no significant differences. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores in the reverse group were significantly lower than those in the normal dipping group (16.2 ± 5.8 vs 21.1 ± 6.1,P = 0.003). The attention as well as delayed recall scores in the reverse dipping group were significant lower than those in the normal dipping group (P = 0.042; P < 0.001). The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that absence of normal dipping was an independent risk factor (OR = -2.252; P = 0.027) for MoCA scores for PD patients. CONCLUSIONS PD patients with absence of normal dipping status were more vulnerable to cognitive impairment from the early stages of the disease. The 24-h ABPM is recommended for early detection of abnormal dipping status and identification of individuals at risk for cognitive decline.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 121:106046. [PMID: 38367532 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The reverse dipping blood pressure (BP) pattern is very common in α-synucleinopathies. We aimed to explore the associations of sleep-related variables with abnormal BP circadian rhythms in Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). METHODS A total of 126 patients, 76 with PD and 50 with MSA, were included. All participants underwent ambulatory BP monitoring and full-night polysomnography (PSG). We analyzed abnormal dipping patterns and sleep-related parameters, including moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD), average oxygen saturation (SaO2%), lowest SaO2%, duration of SaO2% <90%, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Binary logistic regression was performed to explore the associations between paraclinical variables, sleep-related variables, and reverse dipping patterns. RESULTS Reverse dipping patterns were predominant in patients with PD (58.5 %) and MSA (68.0 %). Patients with MSA had higher AHI, RBD, and lower average SaO2% than those with PD. Taking both diseases together as a whole group of α-synucleinopathies, logistic regression analysis indicates the Hoehn-Yahr stage (odds ratio [OR] = 2.00 for reverse systolic and 2.34 for reverse diastolic dipping patterns), moderate to severe OSA (OR = 2.71 for reverse systolic and 2.53 for reverse diastolic dipping patterns), average SaO2% (OR = 1.35 for reverse systolic dipping patterns), and male sex (OR = 2.70 for reverse diastolic dipping patterns) were independently associated with reverse dipping patterns. CONCLUSIONS Reverse dipping patterns were common in patients with PD and MSA. Hoehn-Yahr stage, moderate to severe OSA, average SaO2%, and male sex were associated with reverse dipping patterns in α-synucleinopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pre-clinical animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can rescue motor deficits and protect susceptible neuronal populations. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative to traditional invasive cervical VNS. This is the first report summarizing the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of repeated sessions of taVNS in participants with PD. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and possible efficacy of taVNS for motor and non-motor symptoms in mild to moderate PD. METHODS This is a double-blind, sham controlled RCT (NCT04157621) of taVNS in 30 subjects with mild to moderate PD without cognitive impairment. Participants received 10, 1-h taVNS sessions (25 Hz, 200% of sensory threshold, 500 μs pulse width, 60 s on and 30 s off) over a 2-week period. Primary outcome measures were feasibility and safety of the intervention; secondary outcomes included the MDS-UPDRS, cognitive function and self-reported symptom improvement. RESULTS taVNS treatment was feasible, however, daily in-office visits were reported as being burdensome for participants. While five participants in the taVNS group and three in the sham group self-reported one or more minor adverse events, no major adverse events occurred. There were no group differences on blood pressure and heart rate throughout the intervention. There were no group differences in MDS-UPDRS scores or self-reported measures. Although global cognitive scores remained stable across groups, there was a reduction in verbal fluency within the taVNS group. CONCLUSIONS taVNS was safe, and well-tolerated in PD participants. Future studies of taVNS for PD should explore at-home stimulation devices and optimize stimulation parameters to reduce variability and maximize engagement of neural targets.

Abstract
Background Natural history and disease progression in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) is quite heterogeneous. Autonomic dysfunction occurs commonly among Idiopathic PD patients. Heart rate variability and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring are used to assess cardiac autonomic dysfunction. The prevalence and magnitude of supine hypertension in Indian PD patients has not been studied to date. The present study aimed to record cardiovascular autonomic functions and supine hypertension in PD patients and to correlate them with the age of onset, duration and severity of the disease, and non-motor symptom burden. Material and Methods The cross-sectional study involved 60 PD patients. Webster rating scale was used to determine the disease severity. Non-motor symptom burden was assessed using the Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and heart rate variability parameters determined cardiac autonomic function. Supine hypertension was defined as Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) ≥150 mmHg and/or DBP ≥90 mmHg. Less than 10% decrease or even increase in blood pressure during the night were classified as non-dippers. Pearson coefficient was used appropriately to establish correlation. P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results Age of onset was 61.2 ± 8.7 years and duration of disease was 1.7 ± 1.1 years. Mean Webster and non-motor symptom scores were 12.7 ± 4.4 and 15.5 ± 8.0, respectively. About 50 patients (83%) were non-dipper, while 32 (53%) had supine hypertension. Low Frequency oscillations (LF) (r = 0.28), High Frequency oscillations (HF) (r = 0.29), Standard Deviation NN intervals (SDNN) (0.26), and Root Mean Squared Successive Differences of NN intervals (RMSSD) (r = 0.28) correlated significantly with non-motor symptoms scale. LF (r = -0.39), HF (r = -0.43), SDNN (-0.40), RMSSD (r = -0.41), NN50 (r = -0.38), PNN50 (r = -0.42), mean SBP (r = 0.26), and mean DBP (r = 0.33) correlated significantly with disease duration. PNN50 (r = -0.255), mean SBP (r = -0.29), and mean DBP (r = -0.27) correlated significantly with age at onset. Conclusion Awareness regarding neurogenic supine hypertension is needed as it occurs commonly among Indian PD patients. Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and ambulatory blood pressure are of significant help in the detection of early cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and correlate significantly with disease duration and non-motor symptom burden among PD patients.

Abstract
The α-synucleinopathies include pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Parkinson disease. The past two decades have witnessed significant advances in the diagnostic strategies and symptomatic treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms of the synucleinopathies. This chapter provides an in-depth review of the pathophysiology, pathology, genetic, epidemiology, and clinical and laboratory autonomic features that distinguish the different synucleinopathies with an emphasis on autonomic failure as a common feature. The treatment of the different synucleinopathies is discussed along with the proposal for multidisciplinary, individualized care models that optimally address the various symptoms. There is an urgent need for clinical scientific studies addressing patients at risk of developing synucleinopathies and the investigation of disease mechanisms, biomarkers, potential disease-modifying therapies, and further advancement of symptomatic treatments for motor and nonmotor symptoms.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, which leads to hemodynamic disorders, is commonly observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Central aortic pressure (CAP) is the systolic blood pressure (SBP) at the root of the aorta. In young people, CAP is lower than peripheral arterial blood pressure. In older people, the difference between CAP and peripheral arterial blood pressure decreases depending on the extent of arterial stiffness (AS). In patients with AS, CAP increases. CAP is thus regarded as an indicator of AS. Objective To compare CAP and other hemodynamic parameters for AS between patients with Parkinson's disease and control group. We also aimed to evaluate changes in these hemodynamic parameters after the levodopa (LD) intake. Methods We included 82 patients with PD and 76 healthy controls. Age, sex, disease duration, disease subtype, Hoehn–Yahr stage (H&Y), and nonmotor symptoms (NMS) were documented. TensioMed Software v.3.0.0.1 was used to measure CAP, peripheral arterial blood pressure, pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), augmentation index (AI), pulse wave velocity, and ejection time. All patients were being treated with LD, and measurements were performed 1 h before and 1 h after LD intake. Results Baseline peripheral arterial blood pressure and CAP values were significantly higher in the PD group than in the control group (p < 0.001 and p=0.02, respectively). Most cardiac hemodynamic parameters, including peripheral arterial blood pressure and CAP, decreased significantly (p < 0.02 and p < 0.001, respectively) after LD intake in the PD group. Disease subtype, duration, and severity did not affect any of the hemodynamic parameters. When NMS were evaluated, patients with psychosis and dementia showed higher baseline parameters. Conclusion Loss of postganglionic noradrenergic innervation is well-known with PD. Several cardiac hemodynamic parameters were affected, suggesting cardiac autonomic dysfunction in these patients. The data obtained were independent of disease severity, duration, and subtype. After LD intake, most of these parameters decreased, which might have a positive effect on the vascular burden.

Abstract
Background Uncertainty prevails regarding the patterns of autonomic dysfunction in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). This study was undertaken with the aim of assessing the complete spectrum of cardiovascular autonomic function tests (CAFTs) and blood pressure variability patterns in IPD patients while comparing the same with age-matched controls. Methods Patients with IPD presenting to the Christian Medical College and Hospital from December 2016 to November 2018 along with age-matched controls were prospectively evaluated using CAFTs. The IPD patients also underwent ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM), and the diurnal systolic BP differences were used to classify into dippers (10-20%), non-dippers (0-10%), reverse dippers (<0%), and extreme dippers (>20%). Results Autonomic dysfunction (AD) was prevalent in 41 (68.3%) IPD patients even in early disease (median (inter-quartile range) symptom duration 2 (1-4) years, mean Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage 2 (1.5-2.8). Both sympathetic and parasympathetic parameters were impaired among IPD patients when compared to healthy controls. (E: I ratio 1.17 ± 0.12 vs 1.26 ± 0.14 (P < 0.001), Valsalva ratio (VR) 1.33 ± 0.27 vs 1.55 ± 0.25 (P < 0.001), PRT100 9.6 ± 8.0 vs 3.1 ± 1.8 (P < 0.001), tilt-up SBPAvg change 8.8 (4.2-13.8) vs 1.8 (-2.9-6.1) (P < 0.001), tilt-up HRAvg change 4.8 (2.2-8.2) vs 1.9 (-0.7-5.1) (P < 0.001). BP variability was demonstrated in 47 (79.7%) of IPD patients, with reverse dipping pattern in 28 (47.5%) seen more frequently in this cohort. Conclusions Timely detection of AD may be helpful not only in recognizing IPD in its pre-motor stages but also in optimizing management for this population of patients. BP variability and abnormal dipping patterns on ABPM can be a potential marker of dysautonomia.

Heart Rate Variability Analyses in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Brain Sci 2021; 11:brainsci11080959. [PMID: 34439578 PMCID: PMC8394422 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11080959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that the vagus nerve and autonomic dysfunction play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Using heart rate variability analysis, the autonomic modulation of cardiac activity can be investigated. This meta-analysis aims to assess if analysis of heart rate variability may indicate decreased parasympathetic tone in patients with Parkinson's disease. The MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central databases were searched on 31 December 2020. Studies were included if they: (1) were published in English, (2) analyzed idiopathic Parkinson's disease and healthy adult controls, and (3) reported at least one frequency- or time-domain heart rate variability analysis parameter, which represents parasympathetic regulation. We included 47 studies with 2772 subjects. Random-effects meta-analyses revealed significantly decreased effect sizes in Parkinson patients for the high-frequency spectral component (HFms2) and the short-term measurement of the root mean square of successive normal-to-normal interval differences (RMSSD). However, heterogeneity was high, and there was evidence for publication bias regarding HFms2. There is some evidence that a more advanced disease leads to an impaired parasympathetic regulation. In conclusion, short-term measurement of RMSSD is a reliable parameter to assess parasympathetically impaired cardiac modulation in Parkinson patients. The measurement should be performed with a predefined respiratory rate.

Autonomic dysfunction and heart rate variability with Holter monitoring: a diagnostic look at autonomic regulation. Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol 2021; 32:315-319.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the beat-to-beat variation of the cardiac cycle. Since heart rate is modulated on a beat-to-beat basis by the combined influence of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system at the sinus node level, HRV has been considered an indirect biomarker of cardiac autonomic control and widely exploited for the assessment of autonomic function in many pathological subjects. This focus article summarizes the main findings derived from HRV analysis applied to 24‑h Holter monitoring in both cardiac and non-cardiac diseases as well as in physiological conditions in the healthy population. Even if the prognostic role of HRV indices is well recognized and its use ever more widespread, its implementation in the diagnostic and prognostic processes in routine clinical practice remains limited. Several reasons for these limitations can be identified: first the lack of reliable reference values, and secondly, the low specificity of HRV indices in particular when considering the constant evolution of clinical practice and therapeutic approaches, making it difficult to refer to a specific and stable combination of clinical and HRV markers. Therefore, the clinical use of HRV should be further investigated. Finally, HRV represents a substantial tool for investigating the physiological conditions in healthy people that can have important implications in primary prevention and the understanding of gender differences, as well as in sport and occupational medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular dysautonomia can be present at early, late and even prodromal stages of Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring and investigate the frequency of cardiovascular dysautonomia in Parkinson's disease without an abnormal BP history. METHODS Parkinson's disease patients without history of abnormal BP were consecutively enrolled from three Chinese centres, on whom office BP measurement, neurological evaluations and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring were performed. RESULTS Totally, 101 Parkinson's disease patients (42.6% women) with an average age of 66.6 ± 8.2 years were included in our cohort, and data analysis revealed that 26 (25.74%) patients suffered from orthostatic hypotension, among whom 18 (69.23%) were symptomatic. Patients with orthostatic hypotension compared with those without had significantly higher nocturnal SBP level, and more severe nonmotor symptoms, autonomic dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Further, 54 out of 101 (53.47%) individuals had a reverse dipping pattern in SBP and/or DBP. Reverse dippers had more cases of orthostatic hypotension (P < 0.001), and more severe nonmotor symptoms. SBP dipping ratio of less than -2.98% generated 76.9% of sensitivity, 69.3% of specificity, 46.5% of positive predictive value (PPV), 89.7% of negative predictive value (NPV) and 77.4% of accuracy, while diastolic dipping ratio of less than -1.80% generated 76.9% of sensitivity, 70.7% specificity, 47.6% of PPV, 89.8% of NPV and 77.8% of accuracy for suspecting orthostatic hypotension. CONCLUSION Orthostatic hypotension can occur in one-fourth Parkinson's disease patients without abnormal BP history, and reverse dipping was present in more than half of patients with Parkinson's disease. Reverse dipping pattern was helpful to suspect orthostatic hypotension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in geriatric patients frequently involves a component of autonomic failure (AF). The combination of OH with nocturnal hypertension (NHT) is indicative of AF, which is described as pure (PAF), when neurologic symptoms are absent, or as multisystem atrophy (MSA), when combined with motor disturbance (Parkinsonism or Parkinson disease). CASE PRESENTATION An 87-year-old man presented with long-lasting OH. He frequently fell, causing several fractures, and he developed heart failure. Blood pressure (BP) registration revealed a reversal of the day-night rhythm with NHT. An 18-FDG PET brain CT scan showed cerebellar hypometabolism, indicating MSA. CONCLUSIONS This case demonstrates the use of continuous BP registration in geriatric patients with OH for diagnosing NHT. It illustrates the usefulness of 18-FDG PET brain CT scan to specify the nature of the AF. The case also illustrates the difficulty of managing the combination of OH and NHT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy and safety of double plasma molecular absorption system (DPMAS) in the treatment of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF). METHODS A prospective analysis was performed on the medical data of children with PALF who were hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Hunan Children's Hospital, from March 2018 to June 2020. The children were randomly divided into two groups:plasma exchange group (PE group) and DPMAS group (n=18 each). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical indices after treatment, laboratory markers before and after treatment, and adverse events after treatment. RESULTS Compared with the PE group, the DPMAS group had a significantly lower number of times of artificial liver support therapy and a significantly shorter duration of ICU stay (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the 12-week survival rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in laboratory markers between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, both groups had reductions in the levels of total bilirubin, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and the DPMAS group had significantly greater reductions than the PE group (P < 0.05). Both groups had a significant reduction in alanine aminotransferase (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The PE group had a significant increase in albumin, while the DPMAS group had a significant reduction in albumin (P < 0.05). The PE group had a significant reduction in prothrombin time, while the DPMAS group had a significant increase in prothrombin time (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rebound rate of total bilirubin and the overall incidence rate of adverse events after treatment (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS DPMAS is safe and effective in the treatment of PALF and can thus be used as an alternative to artificial liver support therapy.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a non-motor feature in Parkinson’s disease with negative impact on functionality and life expectancy, prompting early detection and proper management. We aimed to describe the blood pressure patterns reported in patients with Parkinson’s disease, as measured by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic search on the PubMed database. Studies enrolling patients with Parkinson’s disease undergoing 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were included. Data regarding study population, Parkinson’s disease course, vasoactive drugs, blood pressure profiles, and measurements were recorded. (3) Results: The search identified 172 studies. Forty studies eventually fulfilled the inclusion criteria, with 3090 patients enrolled. Abnormal blood pressure profiles were commonly encountered: high blood pressure in 38.13% of patients (938/2460), orthostatic hypotension in 38.68% (941/2433), supine hypertension in 27.76% (445/1603) and nocturnal hypertension in 38.91% (737/1894). Dipping status was also altered often, 40.46% of patients (477/1179) being reverse dippers and 35.67% (310/869) reduced dippers. All these patterns were correlated with negative clinical and imaging outcomes. (4) Conclusion: Patients with Parkinson’s disease have significantly altered blood pressure patterns that carry a negative prognosis. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should be validated as a biomarker of PD-associated cardiovascular dysautonomia and a tool for assisting therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Recognition of the importance of nonmotor dysfunction as a component of Parkinson's disease has exploded over the past three decades. Autonomic dysfunction is a frequent and particularly important nonmotor feature because of the broad clinical spectrum it covers. Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, sexual, and thermoregulatory abnormalities all can appear in the setting of Parkinson's disease. Cardiovascular dysfunction is characterized most prominently by orthostatic hypotension. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can involve virtually all levels of the gastrointestinal tract. Urinary dysfunction can entail either too frequent voiding or difficulty voiding. Sexual dysfunction is frequent and frustrating for both patient and partner. Alterations in sweating and body temperature are not widely recognized but often are present. Autonomic dysfunction can significantly and deleteriously impact quality of life for individuals with Parkinson's disease. Because effective treatment for many aspects of autonomic dysfunction is available, it is vitally important that assessment of autonomic dysfunction be a regular component of the neurologic history and exam and that appropriate treatment be initiated and maintained.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by various non-motor symptoms (NMS) in addition to motor dysfunction. NMS include sleep, ocular, olfactory, throat, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or musculoskeletal disorders. A range of NMS, particularly hyposmia, sleep disturbances, constipation, and depression, can even appear prior to the motor symptoms of PD. Because NMS can affect multiple organs and result in major disabilities, the recognition and multidisciplinary and collaborative management of NMS by physicians is essential for patients with PD. Therefore, the aim of this review article is to provide an overview of the organs that are affected by NMS in PD together with a brief review of pathophysiology and treatment options.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between autonomic dysfunction and striatal dopamine depletion or metabolic changes in de novo Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS Based on the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS), patients with de novo PD were classified into PD with (PD-AUT+) and without autonomic dysfunction (PD-AUT-) groups. We compared the dopamine transporter (DAT) availability in the striatum by quantitatively measuring F-FP-CIT PET between both groups. We also assessed the association between DAT availability and the CASS. In addition, we compared regional uptake in early-phase images of F-FP-CIT PET as well as cortical thickness between the PD-AUT+ and PD-AUT- groups. RESULTS The PD-AUT+ group had significantly lower DAT availability in all striatal subregions than did the PD-AUT- group. The total CASS was significantly correlated with DAT availability in all striatal subregions. In addition, the subscores of the adrenergic component were correlated with DAT availability in all striatal subregions. The subscores of the cardiovagal component were negatively correlated with DAT availability in the caudate and ventral striatum. In early-phase F-FP-CIT PET, the PD-AUT+ group exhibited decreased regional perfusion in the parieto-occipital areas and increased regional perfusion in the pallidothalamic, pontocerebellar, inferior frontal, and primary motor areas compared with the PD-AUT- group. There were no regions of different cortical thickness between the PD groups. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed that autonomic dysfunction is closely linked to striatal dopamine depletion and prominent PD-related perfusion patterns in de novo PD, suggesting a greater pathological burden in patients with dysautonomia.

Abstract
AIM The clinical features and implications of dizziness in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) remain little known. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of dizziness, and the association of dizziness with motor and non-motor symptoms in early stages of PD. METHODS Demographics and clinical characteristics of patients with early PD (disease duration ≤5 years) were retrospectively assessed. The characteristics of dizziness were surveyed in each parkinsonian patient according to existence, frequency, duration and nature. Not only motor symptoms, but also non-motor scales for global cognition, anxiety, depression and fatigue were evaluated to identify risk factors of dizziness. RESULTS Of a total of 80 patients with early PD, 37 (46.3%) had dizziness. The characteristics of dizziness included short duration (seconds to minutes) and frequent occurrence (several times in a day or a week). The most common type of dizziness was orthostatic (40.5%), followed by non-specific and disequilibrium type. Among many scales for motor and non-motor symptoms, dizzy patients with early PD showed lower scores of Montreal Cognitive representing global cognition than non-dizzy people. A lower Montreal Cognitive Assessment score was the only factor significantly related to dizziness in patients with early PD. CONCLUSIONS We found that dizziness frequently occurs in early parkinsonian patients. It is highly linked to low Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores in patients with early PD, inferring that dizziness might be a potential non-motor symptom associated with cognitive decline in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is associated with a variety of motor and non-motor clinical manifestations, including cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a potentially serious manifestation of cardiovascular sympathetic failure that occurs in approximately 30% of patients with PD. Here we review the pathophysiology and effects of the condition as well as treatment considerations for patients with PD and nOH. Screening for nOH using orthostatic symptom questionnaires, orthostatic blood pressure measurements, and specialized autonomic testing is beneficial for the identification of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases because cardiac sympathetic denervation and nOH can occur even at early (premotor) stages of PD. Symptoms of nOH, such as orthostatic lightheadedness, in patients with PD, have been shown to adversely affect patient safety (with increased risk of falls) and quality of life and should prompt treatment with non-pharmacologic and, occasionally, pharmacologic measures. Patients with nOH are also at increased risk of supine hypertension, which requires balancing various management strategies. FUNDING: Lundbeck (Deerfield, IL).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Improvement of quality-of-life (QoL) has been termed as a primary objective in initiating therapy in both Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy Parkinsonian subtype (MSA-P). We aimed to compare the determinants of life quality in drug naïve PD and MSA-P patients. METHODS Eighty-six drug-naïve PD patients and thirty-five drug-naïve MSA-P patients were included to explore the determinants of QoL. Demographic information, motor deficits, and non-motor symptoms were included in the clinical assessment. RESULTS Both motor and non-motor functions were more severely impaired in the drug-naïve MSA-P patients, with higher PDQ-39 scores indicating poorer QoL. Physical discomfort and stigma were the main affected sub-domains in PD, while mobility and activity of daily life were the main affected ones in MSA-P. BECK depressive scores and UPDRS-III scores were independent variables of PDQ-39 in MSA-P patients. Age, depression, disease stages and non-motor scores were independent variables of PDQ-39 in PD patients. INTERPRETATION Drug-naïve MSA-P patients suffered from more severe motor and non-motor disability, as well as poorer QoL. Depression and non-motor symptoms were proved to be the most critical determinants for QoL in PD, while motor function was supposed to be the major determinant for MSA-P. When initiating therapy, physicians need to focus more on motor functions in drug-naïve MSA-P patients, but on depression in PD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiac autonomic dysfunction manifests as reduced heart rate variability (HRV) in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), but no significant reduction has been found in PD patients who carry the LRRK2 mutation. Novel HRV features have not been investigated in these individuals. We aimed to assess cardiac autonomic modulation through standard and novel approaches to HRV analysis in individuals who carry the LRRK2 G2019S mutation. METHODS Short-term electrocardiograms were recorded in 14 LRRK2-associated PD patients, 25 LRRK2-non-manifesting carriers, 32 related non-carriers, 20 idiopathic PD patients, and 27 healthy controls. HRV measures were compared using regression modeling, controlling for age, sex, mean heart rate, and disease duration. Discriminant analysis highlighted the feature combination that best distinguished LRRK2-associated PD from controls. RESULTS Beat-to-beat and global HRV measures were significantly increased in LRRK2-associated PD patients compared with controls (e.g., deceleration capacity of heart rate: p = 0.006) and idiopathic PD patients (e.g., 8th standardized moment of the interbeat interval distribution: p = 0.0003), respectively. LRRK2-associated PD patients also showed significantly increased irregularity of heart rate dynamics, as quantified by Rényi entropy, when compared with controls (p = 0.002) and idiopathic PD patients (p = 0.0004). Ordinal pattern statistics permitted the identification of LRRK2-associated PD individuals with 93% sensitivity and 93% specificity. Consistent results were found in a subgroup of LRRK2-non-manifesting carriers when compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS Increased beat-to-beat HRV in LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers compared with controls and idiopathic PD patients may indicate augmented cardiac autonomic cholinergic activity, suggesting early impairment of central vagal feedback loops in LRRK2-associated PD.

Abstract
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate clinical symptoms and blood pressure (BP) characteristics in Parkinson's disease (PD) with orthostatic hypotension (OH), and to figure out the influencing factors of PD with OH (PD-OH). Methods: Total 150 PD patients were divided into PD-OH and PD with no OH (PD-NOH) groups based on BP value. Series of scales were used to evaluate clinical symptoms. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory BP monitoring was adopted. Results: Total 49 PD patients (32.67%) were with OH. PD-OH group had significantly older age, longer disease duration, more diabetes cases, higher levels of fasting blood glucose, higher levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and higher levodopa-equivalent daily doses (P < 0.05). Motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms, including autonomic dysfunction, fatigue and cognitive impairment indicated by significantly changed scores of related scales were found in PD-OH group (P < 0.05). PD-OH group had increased BP variability (BPV) and a higher proportion of non-dipper BP pattern (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age (B, 0.064; 95% CI, 1.007 ~ 1.128; P < 0.05), HbA1c (B, 1.091; 95% CI, 1.158 ~ 7.648; P < 0.05), and systolic BPV (B, 0.138; 95% CI, 1.004 ~ 1.312; P < 0.05) were independent related factors for PD-OH group. The PD-OH group had significantly compromised daily activities and quality of life (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Older age, higher levels of HbA1c and increased systolic BPV were the influencing factors of PD-OH patients. Daily activities and quality of life of PD-OH patients were fairly compromised.

Abstract
AIMS Domperidone is used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and is linked to an increased risk of mortality. We sought to examine the risk of all-cause mortality associated with domperidone exposure in PD. METHODS We conducted a cohort study using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database (1987-2011). The first recorded PD diagnosis defined index date. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) of all-cause mortality associated with domperidone use. PD patients were stratified by domperidone use (current/recent/past), with never used as the referent. Current domperidone users were stratified by daily dose, domperidone duration and other anti-Parkinson's medications. A secondary analysis compared PD patients to matched (1:1) non-PD patients. RESULTS A total of 5114 PD patients were identified. Current use of domperidone among PD patients was associated with a two-fold increase in all-cause mortality (HRadj = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.64-2.45), as compared to patients never exposed to domperidone. All-cause mortality risk was highest in those starting domperidone in the previous month [HRadj = 2.97, 95% CI: 2.06-4.27]. When compared to matched non-PD patients, PD was associated with a 43% increased risk of all-cause mortality, yet this increased to a 2.4-fold increased risk among PD patients currently using domperidone. CONCLUSION Current use of domperidone was associated with a two-fold increased mortality risk in PD patients, as compared to PD patients that never used domperidone. The risk is highest in the first month of use and does not appear to be attributable to PD alone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION By the time a person develops the motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD), substantial loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons has already occurred. There is great interest in identifying biomarkers that can detect pre-clinical PD. Braak's neuropathological staging concept imputes early autonomic involvement. Here we report results from a small prospective cohort study about the utility of neuroimaging evidence of cardiac sympathetic denervation in predicting PD among individuals with multiple PD risk factors. METHODS Subjects provided information about family history of PD, olfactory dysfunction, dream enactment behavior, and orthostatic hypotension at a protocol-specific website. From this pool, 27 people with at least 3 risk factors confirmed underwent cardiac 18F-dopamine positron emission tomographic scanning and were followed for at least 3 years. Interventricular septal and left ventricular free wall concentrations of 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity were measured. RESULTS Of the 27 subjects, 4 were diagnosed with PD within the 3-year follow-up period (Pre-Clinical PD group); 23 risk-matched (mean 3.2 risk factors) subjects remained disease-free (No-PD group). Compared to the No-PD group, the Pre-Clinical PD group had lower initial values for septal and free wall concentrations of 18F-dopamine-derived radioactivity (p = 0.0248, 0.0129). All 4 Pre-Clinical PD subjects had evidence of decreased cardiac sympathetic innervation in the interventricular septum or left ventricular free wall, in contrast with 3 of 23 (13%) No-PD subjects (p = 0.0020 by Fisher's exact test). CONCLUSION People with multiple PD risk factors and diagnosed with PD within 3 years have evidence of antecedent cardiac sympathetic denervation. The findings fit with Braak's staging concept.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study small and large fiber pathology in drug-naive and l-dopa-treated patients affected by Parkinson disease (PD) in early phases, before the occurrence of neuropathic electrophysiologic abnormalities. METHODS We enrolled 85 patients with idiopathic PD (male/female 49/36, age 61.3 ± 9.7 years) without electrophysiologic signs of neuropathy, including 48 participants naive to l-dopa treatment. All patients underwent clinical, functional, and morphologic assessment of sensory and autonomic nerves through dedicated questionnaires, quantitative sensory testing, sympathetic skin response, dynamic sweat test, and punch biopsies from glabrous and hairy skin. Sensory and autonomic innervation was visualized with specific antibodies and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Data were compared with those obtained from sex- and age-comparable healthy controls. In 35 patients, skin biopsies were performed bilaterally to evaluate side-to-side differences. RESULTS Intraepidermal nerve fiber density was lower in patients compared to controls in all the examined sites (p < 0.001). The loss was higher in the more affected side (p < 0.01). A loss of autonomic nerves to vessels, sweat glands, and arrector pili muscles and of Meissner corpuscles and their myelinated endings in glabrous skin was found (p < 0.001). Patients showed increased tactile and thermal thresholds, impairment of mechanical pain perception, and reduced sweat output (p < 0.001). The naive and l-dopa-treated groups differed only for Meissner corpuscle density (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both large and small fiber pathology occurs in the early stages of PD and may account for the sensory and autonomic impairment. l-Dopa affects the 2 populations of fibers differently.

Abstract
Differentiation of multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) and Parkinson's disease (PD) is important, but an effective tool for differentiation has not been identified. We investigated the efficacy of the composite autonomic symptom scale 31 (COMPASS 31) questionnaire as a tool for evaluating autonomic function in parkinsonism patients. In this study, we enrolled drug-naïve patients with MSA-P and PD, and administered the COMPASS-31 and an objective autonomic dysfunction test (AFT). Demographic and clinical data, including parkinsonism and autonomic dysfunction, were compared between the two groups. Additionally, we determined the optimal COMPASS 31 cut-off score to differentiate MSA-P from PD for use as a screening tool. In this study, 27 MSA-P patients and 41 PD patients were recruited. The total COMPASS 31 score was well correlated with the objective AFT results. When we compared the COMPASS 31 score between the two groups, MSA-P patients showed higher total scores and sub-scores in the orthostatic intolerance, gastrointestinal, and bladder domains compared with PD patients. Similarly, MSA-P patients had more abnormalities in expiration to inspiration ratio, Valsalva ratio and pressure recovery time than PD patients in objective AFT. With 13.25 as the cut-off score for diagnosis of MSA-P, the total COMPASS-31 score demonstrated high sensitivity (92.6%) and moderate specificity (51.2%) with an area under the curve of 0.765. Based on our results, the COMPASS 31 is an effective tool for evaluation of autonomic function in patients with parkinsonism. The COMPASS-31 could be used as a sensitive and convenient screening tool, especially for the differentiation between MSA-P and PD.

Validation of the Korean Version of the Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic. J Mov Disord 2017; 10:29-34. [PMID: 28122431 PMCID: PMC5288668 DOI: 10.14802/jmd.16057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2016] [Accepted: 12/07/2016] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Autonomic symptoms are commonly observed in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and often limit the activities of daily living. The Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) was developed to evaluate and quantify autonomic symptoms in PD. The goal of this study was to translate the original SCOPA-AUT, which was written in English, into Korean and to evaluate its reliability and validity for Korean PD patients.
Methods
For the translation, the following processes were performed: forward translation, backward translation, expert review, pretest of the pre-final version and development of the final Korean version of SCOPA-AUT (K-SCOPA-AUT). In total, 127 patients with PD from 31 movement disorder clinics of university-affiliated hospitals in Korea were enrolled in this study. All patients were assessed using the K-SCOPA-AUT and other motor, non-motor, and quality of life scores. Test-retest reliability for the K-SCOPA-AUT was assessed over a time interval of 10−14 days.
Results
The internal consistency and reliability of the K-SCOPA-AUT was 0.727 as measured by the mean Cronbach’s α-coefficient. The test-retest correlation reliability was 0.859 by the Guttman split-half coefficient. The total K-SCOPA-AUT score showed a positive correlation with other non-motor symptoms [the Korean version of non-motor symptom scale (K-NMSS)], activities of daily living (Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part II) and quality of life [the Korean version of Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life 39 (K-PDQ39)].
Conclusion
The K-SCOPA-AUT had good reliability and validity for the assessment of autonomic dysfunction in Korean PD patients. Autonomic symptom severities were associated with many other motor and non-motor impairments and influenced quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulse wave velocity is a marker of arterial stiffness and a surrogate marker of vascular damage. Autonomic abnormalities associated with blood pressure are relatively commonly observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare arterial stiffness between patients with PD and controls and investigate the associations between cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and pulse wave velocity in PD. METHODS One hundred twenty-five PD patients without diabetes mellitus were enrolled into this study, along with 22 age-matched controls. Orthostatic vital signs and ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring values were recorded. Pulse wave velocity was used to evaluate arterial stiffness. RESULTS In PD, greater arterial stiffness was associated with orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, and nondipping. Dopaminergic treatment did not influence cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction or arterial stiffness. Although pulse wave velocity was mildly increased in patients with PD compared to controls, the arterial stiffness in PD patients without autonomic failure was similar to that in normal controls. Stiffer arteries were found only in patients with PD and autonomic failure. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is associated with arterial stiffness in PD. PD itself does not affect arterial stiffness, whereas autonomic blood pressure disturbances influence alterations in arterial stiffness and architectural changes in the arteries of PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies have shown that several nonmotor symptoms differ between Parkinson's disease (PD) and drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP). However, there have been no reports on cardiovascular autonomic function in DIP, and so this study investigated whether cardiovascular autonomic function differs between PD and DIP patients. METHODS This study consecutively enrolled 20 DIP patients, 99 drug-naïve PD patients, and 25 age-matched healthy controls who underwent head-up tilt-table testing and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. RESULTS Orthostatic hypotension was more frequent in patients with PD or DIP than in healthy controls. In DIP, orthostatic hypotension was associated with the underlying psychiatric diseases and neuroleptics use, whereas prokinetics were not related to orthostatic hypotension. The supine blood pressure, nighttime blood pressure, and nocturnal blood pressure dipping did not differ significantly between the DIP and control groups. Supine hypertension and nocturnal hypertension were more frequent in PD patients than in controls. CONCLUSIONS The included DIP patients frequently exhibited orthostatic hypotension that was associated with the underlying diseases as well as the nature of and exposure time to the offending drugs. Clinicians should individualize the manifestations of DIP according to underlying diseases as well as the action mechanism of and exposure time to each offending drug.
