Convolutional neural networks can detect orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson's disease using resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy data. JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2024:e202400138. [PMID: 38952169 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202400138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) often adversely affect the vascular system, leading to alterations in blood flow patterns. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is used to monitor hemodynamic changes via signal measurement. This study investigated the potential of using resting-state fNIRS data through a convolutional neural network (CNN) to evaluate PD with orthostatic hypotension. The CNN demonstrated significant efficacy in analyzing fNIRS data, and it outperformed the other machine learning methods. The results indicate that judicious input data selection can enhance accuracy by over 85%, while including the correlation matrix as an input further improves the accuracy to more than 90%. This study underscores the promising role of CNN-based fNIRS data analysis in the diagnosis and management of the PD. This approach enhances diagnostic accuracy, particularly in resting-state conditions, and can reduce the discomfort and risks associated with current diagnostic methods, such as the head-up tilt test.

Clin Auton Res 2024:10.1007/s10286-024-01040-5. [PMID: 38916658 DOI: 10.1007/s10286-024-01040-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This work's purpose was to quantify rapid sympathetic activation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), and to identify associated correlations with symptoms of orthostatic hypotension and common autonomically mediated secondary medical complications. METHODS This work was a cross-sectional study of individuals with SCI and uninjured individuals. Symptoms of orthostatic hypotension were recorded using the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS)-31 and Autonomic Dysfunction following SCI (ADFSCI) survey. Histories of secondary complications of SCI were gathered. Rapid sympathetic activation was assessed using pressure recovery time of Valsalva maneuver. Stepwise multiple linear regression models identified contributions to secondary medical complication burden. RESULTS In total, 48 individuals (24 with SCI, 24 uninjured) underwent testing, with symptoms of orthostatic hypotension higher in those with SCI (COMPASS-31, 3.3 versus 0.6, p < 0.01; ADFSCI, 21.2 versus. 3.2, p < 0.01). Pressure recovery time was prolonged after SCI (7.0 s versus. 1.7 s, p < 0.01), though poorly correlated with orthostatic symptom severity. Neurological level of injury after SCI influenced pressure recovery time, with higher injury levels associated with more prolonged time. Stepwise multiple linear regression models identified pressure recovery time as the primary explanation for variance in number of urinary tract infections (34%), histories of hospitalizations (12%), and cumulative secondary medical complication burden (24%). In all conditions except time for bowel program, pressure recovery time outperformed current clinical tools for assessing such risk. CONCLUSIONS SCI is associated with impaired rapid sympathetic activation, demonstrated here by prolonged pressure recovery time. Prolonged pressure recovery time after SCI predicts higher risk for autonomically mediated secondary complications, serving as a viable index for more "autonomically complete" injury.

Beach P, McKay JL. Longitudinal prevalence of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in the idiopathic Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) cohort. Auton Neurosci 2024; 253:103173. [PMID: 38692034 PMCID: PMC11128342 DOI: 10.1016/j.autneu.2024.103173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reported orthostatic hypotension (OH) prevalence in Parkinson's disease (PD) varies widely, with few studies evaluating specifically neurogenic-OH (nOH). The ratio of orthostatic heart rate (HR) to systolic blood pressure (SBP) change (Δ) is a valid screening method to stratify nOH/non-nOH but has had minimal epidemiologic application. OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of nOH and non-nOH in the PPMI using the ΔHR/ΔSBP ratio and examine associations between nOH and various motor and non-motor measures. METHODS Longitudinal orthostatic vitals and motor and non-motor measures were extracted (baseline-month 48). Patients were consensus criteria classified as OH+/-, with ΔHR/ΔSBP sub-classification to nOH (ΔHR/ΔSBP < 0.5) or non-nOH (ratio ≥ 0.5). Prevalence was determined across visits. Independent linear mixed models tested associations between nOH/non-nOH and clinical variables. RESULTS Of N = 907 PD with baseline orthostatic vitals, 3.9 % and 1.8 % exhibited nOH and non-nOH, respectively. Prevalence of nOH/non-nOH increased yearly (P = 0.012, chi-square), though with modest magnitude (baseline: 5.6 % [95 % CI: 4.3-7.3 %]; month 48: 8.6 % [6.4-11.5 %]). nOH patients were older than PD with no OH and nOH was associated with greater impairment of motor and independent functioning than non-nOH/OH- groups. Cognitive function and typical OH symptoms were worse in PD + OH, generally. CONCLUSIONS nOH prevalence was greater than non-nOH in the PPMI early PD cohort, with modest prevalence increase over time. Our findings are consistent with prior studies of large cohorts that evaluated nOH, specifically. Those with early PD and nOH were likelier to be older and suffer from greater motor and functional impairment, but OH presence was generally associated with more cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular activity is not only crucial to optimal cerebral perfusion, but also plays an important role in the glymphatic clearance of interstitial waste, including α-synuclein. This highlights a need to evaluate how cerebrovascular activity is altered in Lewy body diseases. This review begins by discussing how vascular risk factors and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction may serve as upstream or direct influences on cerebrovascular activity. We then discuss how patients with Lewy body disease exhibit reduced and delayed cerebrovascular activity, hypoperfusion, and reductions in measures used to capture cerebrospinal fluid flow, suggestive of a reduced capacity for glymphatic clearance. Given the lack of an existing framework, we propose a model by which these processes may foster α-synuclein aggregation and neuroinflammation. Importantly, this review highlights several avenues for future research that may lead to treatments early in the disease course, prior to neurodegeneration. © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
Dizziness and postural instability are frequently observed symptoms in patient with Parkinson's disease (PD), potentially linked to vestibular dysfunction. Despite their significant impact on quality of life, these symptoms are often overlooked and undertreated in clinical practice. This review aims to summarize symptoms associated with vestibular dysfunction in patients with PD and discusses vestibular-targeted therapies for managing non-specific dizziness and related symptoms. We conducted searches in PubMed and Web of Science using keywords related to vestibular dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, dizziness, and postural instability, alongside the reference lists of relevant articles. The available evidence suggests the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction-related symptoms in patients with PD and supports the idea that vestibular-targeted therapies may be effective in improving PD symptoms.

Hypotensive episodes at 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring predict adverse outcomes in Parkinson's disease. Clin Auton Res 2024; 34:281-291.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a frequent nonmotor feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), associated with adverse outcomes. Recently, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) showed good accuracy in diagnosing nOH. This study aims at evaluating the prognostic role of ABPM-hypotensive episodes in predicting PD disability milestones and mortality and comparing it to the well-defined prognostic role of bedside nOH. METHODS Patients with PD who underwent ABPM from January 2012 to December 2014 were retrospectively enrolled and assessed for the development of falls, fractures, dementia, bed/wheelchair confinement, hospitalization, and mortality, during an up-to-10-year follow-up. Significant ABPM-hypotensive episodes were identified when greater than or equal to two episodes of systolic BP drop ≥ 15 mmHg (compared with the average 24 h) were recorded during the awakening-to-lunch period. RESULTS A total of 99 patients (74% male, age 64.0 ± 10.1 years, and PD duration 6.4 ± 4.0 years) were enrolled. At baseline, 38.4% of patients had ABPM-hypotensive episodes and 46.5% had bedside nOH. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with ABPM-hypotensive episodes showed earlier onset of falls (p = 0.001), fractures (p = 0.004), hospitalizations (p = 0.009), bed/wheelchair confinement (p = 0.032), dementia (p = 0.001), and shorter survival (8.0 versus 9.5 years; p = 0.009). At Cox regression analysis (adjusted for age, disease duration, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and Hoehn and Yahr stage) a significant association was confirmed between ABPM-hypotensive episodes and falls [odds ratio (OR) 3.626; p = 0.001), hospitalizations (OR 2.016; p = 0.038), and dementia (OR 2.926; p = 0.008), while bedside nOH was only associated with falls (OR 2.022; p = 0.039) and dementia (OR 1.908; p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS The presence of at least two ABPM-hypotensive episodes independently predicted the development of falls, dementia, and hospitalization, showing a stronger prognostic value than the simple bedside assessment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The specific characteristics of autonomic involvement in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of autonomic dysfunction in drug-naïve patients with early-stage PD without orthostatic hypotension (OH) by analyzing Valsalva maneuver (VM) parameters. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed drug-naïve patients without orthostatic hypotension (n = 61) and controls (n = 20). The patients were subcategorized into early PD (n = 35) and mid-PD (n = 26) groups on the basis of the Hoehn and Yahr staging. VM parameters, including changes in systolic blood pressure at late phase 2 (∆SBPVM2), ∆HRVM3, Valsalva ratio (VR), pressure recovery time, adrenergic baroreflex sensitivity, and vagal baroreflex sensitivity, were assessed. RESULTS In the early PD group, ∆SBPVM2, a marker of sympathetic function, was significantly lower compared with that in controls (risk ratio = 0.95, P = 0.027). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed an optimal cut-off value of -10 mmHg for ∆SBPVM2 [P = 0.002, area under the curve (AUC): 0.737]. VR exhibited an inverse relationship with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 scores in the multivariable regression analysis (VR: P = 0.038, β = -28.61), whereas age showed a positive relationship (age: P = 0.027, β = 0.35). CONCLUSION The ∆BPVM2 parameter of the VM may help detect autonomic nervous system involvement in early-PD without OH. Our results suggest that sympathetic dysfunction is an early manifestation of autonomic dysfunction in patients with PD.

Machine-learning model for the prediction of acute orthostatic hypotension after levodopa administration. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14575. [PMID: 38467597 PMCID: PMC10927600 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Levodopa could induce orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Accurate prediction of acute OH post levodopa (AOHPL) is important for rational drug use in PD patients. Here, we develop and validate a prediction model of AOHPL to facilitate physicians in identifying patients at higher probability of developing AOHPL. METHODS The study involved 497 PD inpatients who underwent a levodopa challenge test (LCT) and the supine-to-standing test (STS) four times during LCT. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether OH occurred during levodopa effectiveness (AOHPL) or not (non-AOHPL). The dataset was randomly split into training (80%) and independent test data (20%). Several models were trained and compared for discrimination between AOHPL and non-AOHPL. Final model was evaluated on independent test data. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values were employed to reveal how variables explain specific predictions for given observations in the independent test data. RESULTS We included 180 PD patients without AOHPL and 194 PD patients with AOHPL to develop and validate predictive models. Random Forest was selected as our final model as its leave-one-out cross validation performance [AUC_ROC 0.776, accuracy 73.6%, sensitivity 71.6%, specificity 75.7%] outperformed other models. The most crucial features in this predictive model were the maximal SBP drop and DBP drop of STS before medication (ΔSBP/ΔDBP). We achieved a prediction accuracy of 72% on independent test data. ΔSBP, ΔDBP, and standing mean artery pressure were the top three variables that contributed most to the predictions across all individual observations in the independent test data. CONCLUSIONS The validated classifier could serve as a valuable tool for clinicians, offering the probability of a patient developing AOHPL at an early stage. This supports clinical decision-making, potentially enhancing the quality of life for PD patients.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the epidemiology and risk factors associated with orthostatic hypotension (OH) and its severity in older adults residing in the Jizhou community of Tianjin and the Jimei community of Xiamen. The study, conducted from March to September 2019, involved adults aged over 60. A comprehensive questionnaire survey was administered, resulting in the enrolment of 4383 older adults. The overall prevalence of OH was found to be 11.7% (516 out of 4383). Notably, a significant gender difference was observed, with a prevalence of 10% among males (194 out of 1926) and 13.1% among females (322 out of 2457) (P=0.002). Among individuals with OH, 332 exhibited mild symptoms, 64 had moderate OH, 58 had severe OH cases, and 50 have very severe OH. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that being female, widowed, engaging in general social activities, and a history of hypertension, migraines, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and mental health conditions (anxiety and depression) were independently associated with OH. Ordinal logistic regression analysis further confirmed that hypertension, migraine, and a history of general anesthesia surgery were independently associated with the severity of OH. This study highlights a relatively high prevalence of OH among older adults in the Jizhou community of Tianjin and the Jimei community of Xiamen, China. The identified risk factors, particularly social activities, and hypertension, significantly influence the severity of OH. Further examination is required to corroborate these findings and investigate potential interventions.

Abstract
Purpose Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a frequent non-motor feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), associated with adverse outcomes. Recently, 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) has been shown to diagnose nOH with good accuracy (in the presence of at least 2 episodes of systolic BP drop ≥ 15 mmHg compared to the average 24-h). This study aims at evaluating the prognostic role of ABPM-hypotensive episodes in predicting PD disability milestones and mortality and comparing it to well-defined prognostic role of nOH. Methods PD patients who underwent ABPM from January 2012 to December 2014 were retrospectively enrolled and assessed for the development of falls, fractures, dementia, bed/wheelchair confinement, hospitalization, mortality, during an up-to-10-year follow-up. Results Ninety-nine patients (male 74%; age: 64.0 ± 10.1 years; PD duration: 6.4 ± 4.0 years) were enrolled. At baseline, 38.4% of patients had ABPM-hypotensive episodes and 46.5% had bedside nOH.At Kaplan-Meier analysis patients with ABPM-hypotensive episodes had an earlier onset of falls (p = 0.001), fractures (p = 0.004), hospitalizations (p = 0.009), bed/wheelchair confinement (p = 0.032), dementia (p = 0.001), and showed a shorter survival (8.0vs9.5 years; p = 0.009). At Cox regression analysis (adjusted for age, disease duration, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and H&Y stage at baseline) a significant association was confirmed between ABPM-hypotensive episodes and falls (OR:3.626; p = 0.001), hospitalizations (OR:2.016; p = 0.038), and dementia (OR:2.926; p = 0.008), while bedside nOH was only associated with falls (OR 2.022; p = 0.039) and dementia (OR:1.908; p = 0.048). Conclusion The presence of at least two ABPM-hypotensive episodes independently predicted the development of falls, dementia, and hospitalization, showing a stronger prognostic value than the simple bedside assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Levodopa, a common drug that improves symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), can induce a reduction in blood pressure (BP); however, the effect of levodopa on cerebral blood flow (CBF) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To observe the changes in BP and CBF during active standing before and after the acute levodopa challenge test (ALCT) and analyse the influencing factors of CBF in patients with PD. METHODS BP and CBF velocity were simultaneously recorded by continuous beat-to-beat non-invasive BP monitoring and transcranial Doppler at supine and orthostatic positions twice, before and after ALCT. The patients were divided into two groups according to those with increased and decreased CBF at baseline after ALCT to analyse the influencing factors. RESULTS We examined 64 patients with PD (59.2 ± 11.6 years, 33 males). BP decreased at all timepoints after ALCT, while there was no significant change in the magnitude of the drop in BP induced by standing. CBF was reduced after ALCT, especially within 15 s to 1 min of standing (15 s: 48.95 ± 13.50 vs. 44.93 ± 13.26, p < 0.001; 30 s: 52.46 ± 12.06 vs. 50.11 ± 12.56, p = 0.033; 1 min: 52.19 ± 11.83 vs. 50.17 ± 13.21, p = 0.044). Lower body mass index (β = -0.280, p = 0.027) was an independent factor associated with CBF reduction after ALCT. CONCLUSIONS Additional attention should be paid to changes in CBF and BP within 1 min after standing in patients with PD taking levodopa, especially in those with low bodyweight.

Study protocol for the Heads-Up trial: a phase II randomized controlled trial investigating head-up tilt sleeping to alleviate orthostatic intolerance in Parkinson's Disease and parkinsonism. BMC Neurol 2024; 24:4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In persons with Parkinson's Disease (PD) or certain forms of atypical parkinsonism, orthostatic hypotension is common and disabling, yet often underrecognized and undertreated. About half of affected individuals also exhibit supine hypertension. This common co-occurrence of both orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension complicates pharmacological treatments as the treatment of the one can aggravate the other. Whole-body head-up tilt sleeping (HUTS) is the only known intervention that may improve both. Evidence on its effectiveness and tolerability is, however, lacking, and little is known about the implementability. METHODS In this double-blind multicenter randomized controlled trial (phase II) we will test the efficacy and tolerability of HUTS at different angles in 50 people with PD or parkinsonism who have both symptomatic orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension. All participants start with one week of horizontal sleeping and subsequently sleep at three different angles, each maintained for two weeks. The exact intervention will vary between the randomly allocated groups. Specifically, the intervention group will consecutively sleep at 6°, 12° and 18°, while the delayed treatment group starts with a placebo angle (1°), followed by 6° and 12°. We will evaluate tolerability using questionnaires and compliance to the study protocol. The primary endpoint is the change in average overnight blood pressure measured by a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure recording. Secondary outcomes include orthostatic blood pressure, orthostatic tolerance, supine blood pressure, nocturia and various other motor and non-motor tests and questionnaires. DISCUSSION We hypothesize that HUTS can simultaneously alleviate orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension, and that higher angles of HUTS are more effective but less tolerable. The Heads-Up trial will help to clarify the effectiveness, tolerability, and feasibility of this intervention at home and can guide at-home implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) can be an early feature of autonomic dysfunction in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), no large-scale studies have examined the frequency of OH in iRBD. In this study, we prospectively evaluated the frequency of OH in a large multicenter iRBD cohort. METHODS Participants 18 years or older with video polysomnogram-confirmed iRBD were enrolled through the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy consortium. All participants underwent 3-minute orthostatic stand testing to assess the frequency of OH, and a Δ heart rate/Δ systolic blood pressure (ΔHR/ΔSBP) ratio <0.5 was used to define reduced HR augmentation, suggestive of neurogenic OH. All participants completed a battery of assessments, including the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson Disease-Autonomic Dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT) and others assessing cognitive, motor, psychiatric, and sensory domains. RESULTS Of 340 iRBD participants (65 ± 10 years, 82% male), 93 (27%) met criteria for OH (ΔHR/ΔSBP 0.37 ± 0.28; range 0.0-1.57), and of these, 72 (77%) met criteria for OH with reduced HR augmentation (ΔHR/ΔSBP 0.28 ± 0.21; range 0.0-0.5). Supine hypertension (sHTN) was present in 72% of those with OH. Compared with iRBD participants without OH, those with OH were older, reported older age of RBD symptom onset, and had worse olfaction. There was no difference in autonomic symptom scores as measured by SCOPA-AUT. DISCUSSION OH and sHTN are common in iRBD. However, as patients may have reduced autonomic symptom awareness, orthostatic stand testing should be considered in clinical evaluations. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the relationship between OH and phenoconversion risk in iRBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are common among persons with Parkinson's disease (PD), but it is unknown how the prevalence of cardiovascular drug and oral anticoagulant use changes in relation to PD diagnosis. METHODS We investigated the prevalence of cardiovascular drug and oral anticoagulant use among persons with and without PD among 17,541 persons who received incident PD diagnosis in 2001-2015 in Finland and their 116,829 matched comparison persons. Prevalence was calculated in 6-month time windows from 5 years before to 5 years after PD diagnosis (index date) and compared to a matched cohort without PD using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Persons with PD had higher prevalence of any cardiovascular drugs (unadjusted OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.11-1.18) and oral anticoagulants (unadjusted OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.11-1.22) before index date than those without PD. After index date, persons with PD had lower prevalence of cardiovascular drugs (0.94; 95% CI: 0.91-0.96), and no difference was observed for oral anticoagulants. Prevalence of any cardiovascular drugs on the index date was 66 and 61% for persons with and without PD, respectively. β-blockers were the most common cardiovascular drugs in both cohorts. Warfarin was the most common oral anticoagulant, but the use of direct oral anticoagulants increased during the last years of follow-up. CONCLUSION Orthostatic hypotension and weight loss likely explain the decreased cardiovascular drug use after PD diagnosis. Results with oral anticoagulants may reflect clinical assessment of benefits being larger than risks, despite the risks associated with their use in persons with PD.

Acute effect of levodopa on orthostatic hypotension and its association with motor responsiveness in Parkinson's disease: Results of acute levodopa challenge test. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2023; 115:105860.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Levodopa administration can induce or worsen orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Understanding of acute OH post levodopa (AOHPL) is important for rational drug use in PD patients. Primary objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of AOHPL in PD patients. The secondary objectives were a) hemodynamic character of AOHPL; b) risk factors of AOHPL; c) relationship between motor responsiveness and blood pressure (BP) change. METHODS 490 PD inpatients underwent acute levodopa challenge test (LCT). Supine-to-standing test (STS) was done 4 times during LCT, including before levodopa and every hour post levodopa intake within 3 h. Patients were classified into two groups, AOHPL and non-AOHPL. A comprehensive set of clinical features scales was assessed, including both motor (e.g., motor response, wearing-off) and nonmotor symptoms (e.g., autonomic dysfunction, neuropsychology). RESULTS 33.1% PD patients had OH before drug, 50.8% the same subjects had AOHPL during levodopa effectiveness. PD patients who had better response to levodopa likely to have lower standing mean artery pressure (MAP) and severer systolic BP drop after levodopa intake. BP increased when the motor performance worsened and vice versa. Beneficial response was a risk factors of AOHPL (OR = 1.624, P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS AOHPL was very common in PD patients. We suggested that PD patients with risk factors should monitor hemodynamic change during LCT to avoid AOHPL following the introduction or increase of oral levodopa. The fluctuations of BP were complicated and multifactorial, likely caused by the process of PD and levodopa both.

Abstract
Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are prevalent and can be very debilitating, reducing the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies such as dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. Non-pharmacological therapies are key to effective management and are frequently used alone in patients with mild autonomic symptoms, or in combination with pharmacological therapies in patients with moderate and severe symptoms. This article focuses on non-pharmacological approaches. Our objective was to review the non-drug and non-surgical approaches to treating autonomic symptoms in patients with PD and other synucleinopathies, focusing on cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary autonomic dysfunction. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatment for the management of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, constipation, and bladder and sexual dysfunction is available. High-quality prospective trials are scarce, yet some non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., physical counter maneuvers) can be evaluated relatively quickly on an individual basis and often seem effective. The emerging variety of clinical presentations advocates for a stepwise, individualized, and non-pharmacological approach for the management of autonomic symptoms. Often, the first step is to reduce or discontinue drugs that cause or aggravate autonomic symptoms followed by lifestyle measures. While non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatments are available and, in many cases, effective to improve symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in PD and other synucleinopathies, they are often overlooked. Large randomized trials testing and comparing non-pharmacological approaches are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of antipsychotics in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) is common, although their use may aggravate the symptoms of PD. Clozapine and quetiapine are the only antipsychotics recommended in PD treatment guidelines. Information on factors associated with initiation of antipsychotics is needed. We investigated whether recent hospitalization is associated with initiation of antipsychotics in persons with PD, and whether discharge diagnoses differ between those who had antipsychotics initiated and those who did not. DESIGN Nested case-control study in the nationwide register-based Finnish Study on Parkinson's disease (FINPARK). SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The FINPARK study includes 22,189 persons who received an incident, clinically verified PD diagnosed during 1996-2015 and were community-dwelling at the time of diagnosis. The cases were 5088 persons who had antipsychotics initiated after PD diagnosis, identified with 1-year washout. The controls were 5088 age-, sex-, and time from PD diagnosis-matched persons who did not use antipsychotics on the matching date (antipsychotic purchase date). Recent hospitalization was defined as discharge in the 2-week period preceding the matching date. METHODS Associations were investigated with conditional logistic regression. RESULTS Quetiapine was the most commonly initiated antipsychotic (72.0% of cases), followed by risperidone (15.0%). Clozapine was initiated rarely (1.1%). Recent hospitalization associated strongly with antipsychotic initiation [61.2% of cases and 14.9% of controls, odds ratio (OR) 9.42, 95% CI 8.33-10.65], and longer hospitalizations were more common among cases. PD was the most common discharge diagnosis category (51.2% of hospitalized cases and 33.0% controls), followed by mental and behavioral disorders (9.3%) and dementia (9.0%) among cases. Antidementia and other psychotropic medication use were more common among cases. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results suggest that antipsychotics were initiated because of neuropsychiatric symptoms or aggravation of those symptoms. Antipsychotics should be prescribed after careful consideration to avoid adverse effects in persons with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is common in Parkinson's Disease (PD). It is intermittent, exacerbated by stressors including meals, medications, and dehydration, and frequently is unrecognized. Although intermittent, assessment is usually by a single "in clinic" BP measurement. This study examines whether 10 home measurements are more sensitive in detecting OH than a single "in clinic" measurement. Participants (44 people with PD and 16 controls) were instructed to measure lying and standing BP at home. BP was measured on five consecutive days upon waking and before bedtime. Symptoms were also assessed using the Movement Disorder Society United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and the Non-Motor Questionnaire. While a postural drop in systolic BP (≥20 mmHg) was recorded "in clinic" in thirteen of the forty-four PD participants, a postural drop was found in at least one of the ten home measurements in twenty-eight of the forty-four participants. Morning hypertension and variability in lying systolic BP was more common in these subjects than in those without a postural drop or the controls. A greater number of measurements of lying and standing BP are more likely to reveal orthostatic hypotension, variation in systolic BP, and hypertension than a single office measurement in people with PD.

Abstract
In Parkinson's disease (PD), cardiovascular dysautonomia accumulates with disease progression, but studies are lacking on the natural history behind each subtype except orthostatic hypotension. This study investigated the early natural history of orthostatic blood pressure (BP) subtypes in PD. Two hundred sixty-seven early PD patients were included. Their cardiovascular functions were assessed by head-up tilt-test and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy. All patients were classified as having supine hypertension (SH), orthostatic hypertension (OHT), delayed orthostatic hypotension (dOH), or orthostatic hypotension (OH) according to consensus criteria. The patients were assigned to one of three groups: extreme BP dysregulation (BPextreme), mild BP dysregulation (BPmild), and no BP dysregulation (BPnone) according to their orthostatic BP subtypes. The autonomic functions of 237 patients were re-assessed after approximately 3 years. Among initially enrolled subjects, 61.8% of the patients showed orthostatic BP dysregulation: 29.6% in the BPextreme group and 32.2% in the BPmild group. At follow-up, the BPextreme group increased in number, while the BPmild group diminished. Two-thirds of the initial BPextreme patients maintained their initial subtype at follow-up. In comparison, 40.7% of the initial BPmild patients progressed to the BPextreme group, and 32.4% and 14.7% of the initial BPnone group progressed to BPextreme and BPmild groups, respectively. Cardiac denervation was most severe in the BPextreme group, and a linear gradient of impairment was observed across the subtypes. In conclusion, various forms of positional BP dysregulation were observed during the early disease stage. SH and OH increased with disease progression, while OHT and dOH decreased, converting primarily to SH and/or OH.

Abstract
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a disabling problem of autonomic dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease, which is associated with poor quality of life and higher mortality rates. The purpose of this literature review was to explore and compare the efficacy and safety of droxidopa (an existing treatment) and ampreloxetine (a newer medication) in the treatment of nOH. We used a mixed-method literature review that addresses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of nOH in Parkinson's disease in a general way, with a more exploratory approach to droxidopa- and ampreloxetine-controlled trial studies. We included a total of 10 studies of randomized controlled trials with eight studies focused on droxidopa and two studies focused on ampreloxetine. These two drugs were analyzed and compared based on the collected individual study results. Treatment of nOH in Parkinson's disease patients with droxidopa or ampreloxetine showed clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements relative to placebo on the components of the OHSA (Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment) composite score and OHDAS (Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activity Scale composite scores) composite score. Droxidopa had an improved effect on daily activities, with an associated increase in standing systolic blood pressure (BP), but the long-term efficacy of droxidopa has not been documented. Standing systolic BP was maintained by ampreloxetine and worsened after the withdrawal phase. This highlights the importance of conducting further research which will help us to improve the therapeutic approach for patients with nOH and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Orthostatic hypotension (OH) increases dementia risk in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), although the underlying mechanisms and whether a similar association between OH and cognitive impairment exists in other synucleinopathies remain unknown. The aim is to evaluate the association between OH and dementia risk in patients with PD, and cognitive impairment risk in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and to explore relevant clinical and neuropathologic factors to understand underlying pathogenic mechanisms. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. Medical records throughout the entire disease course of consecutive patients with neuropathology-confirmed PD and MSA from the Queen Square Brain Bank were systematically reviewed. Time of onset and severity of OH-related symptoms were documented, and their association with other clinical and neuropathologic variables was evaluated. Dementia risk for patients with PD and cognitive impairment risk for patients with MSA were estimated using multivariable hazard regression. RESULTS One hundred thirty-two patients with PD and 137 with MSA were included. Patients with MSA developed OH more frequently, earlier in the disease course and with more severe symptoms. Cumulative dementia prevalence was higher in patients with PD. Multivariable adjusted regression models showed that early OH, but not its symptom severity, increased dementia risk in patients with PD by 14% per year (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.80-0.93) and cognitive impairment risk in patients with MSA by 41% per year (HR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.42-0.83). Early OH was not associated with increased α-synuclein, β-amyloid, tau, Alzheimer, or cerebrovascular pathologies. No significant associations were found between severity of OH symptoms and other clinical or neuropathologic variables. DISCUSSION Early OH, but not its symptom severity, increases the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with PD and MSA. OH is not associated with more extensive Lewy, β-amyloid, tau, Alzheimer, or cerebrovascular pathologies. It is likely that OH contributes to cognitive impairment in patients with PD and MSA by hypoxia-induced nonspecific neurodegeneration. Further research should evaluate whether improving brain perfusion by treating OH may modify the risk of dementia in these conditions.

Abstract
This case demonstrates how orthostatic hypotension in the absence of typical symptoms of light-headedness/dizziness when changing posture, can contribute to the burden of falls in Parkinson's disease. At least one-third of people with severe orthostatic hypotension do not report typical symptoms, and this figure appears to be higher in patients with Parkinson's disease. This is important clinically as it can increase the difficulty in ascribing falls to orthostatic hypotension, especially given the other competing reasons in Parkinson's disease and orthostatic hypotension symptoms can act as a prompt for the patient to act to prevent falls-related injuries. There is a clinical requirement, therefore, to screen for and manage orthostatic hypotension in patients with Parkinson's disease to prevent falls, even in those who do not report typical symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequent and associated with impairments in quality of life and reduced activities of daily living. Abdominal binders (AB) and compression stockings (CS) have been shown to be effective non-pharmacological treatment options. OBJECTIVE Here, we investigate the effect of AB versus CS on physical activity using a digital mobility outcome (sit to stand [STS] frequency) collected in the usual environment as a primary endpoint. METHODS We enrolled 16 PD patients with at least moderate symptomatic OH. In a randomized, single-blinded, controlled, crossover design, participants were assessed without OH treatment over 1 week (baseline), then were given AB or CS for 1 week and subsequently switched to the other treatment arm. The primary outcome was the number of real-life STS movements per hour as assessed with a lower back sensor. Secondary outcomes included real-life STS duration, mean/systolic/diastolic blood pressure drop (BPD), orthostatic hypotension questionnaire (OHQ), PD quality of life (PDQ-39), autonomic symptoms (SCOPA-AUT), non-motor symptoms (NMSS), MDS-UPDRS, and activities of daily living (ADL/iADL). RESULTS Real-life STS frequency on CS was 4.4±4.1 per hour compared with 3.6±2.2 on AB and 3.6±1.8 without treatment (p = 1.0). Concerning the secondary outcomes, NMSS showed significant improvement with CS and AB. OHQ and SCOPA-AUT improved significantly with AB but not CS, and mean BPD drop worsened with CS but not AB. Mean STS duration, PDQ-39, MDS-UPDRS, ADL, and iADL did not significantly change. CONCLUSION Both AB and CS therapies do not lead to a significant change of physical activity in PD patients with at least moderate symptomatic OH. Secondary results speak for an effect of both therapies concerning non-motor symptoms, with superiority of AB therapy over CS therapy.

Abstract
Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common and considered the most incapacitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Little is known about OH in Ethiopian PD patients. The objectives of the present study were to determine the frequency and factors associated with OH in individuals diagnosed with PD compared to a healthy control. Methods A multi-center case-control observational study was conducted. A total of 53 PD cases and 53 age and sex matched healthy controls were included. Both descriptive and Chi-square proportional statistical analysis were used. Results The mean age distribution was comparable between the two study groups (61.9 vs. 59.9 years). Distribution of male gender was comparable between PD and control groups (71.7% vs. 67.9%). Nearly all the individuals diagnosed with PD were on levodopa treatment, and close to half of them were on anticholinergic drugs. Hypertension was the commonest comorbid disorder in both groups. The prevalence of orthostatic hypotension was higher in PD patients (22.6%) compared to the control group (9.4%). The proportion of constipation (p=0.007), urinary urgency (p=0.007), and nocturia (p<0.0001) was significantly higher among Parkinson's disease patients compared to the healthy control group. Falls and excessive sweating were only reported by PD patients. Conclusion The present study shows the frequency of orthostatic hypotension in Ethiopian Parkinson's disease patients is comparable to other regions. The presence of constipation, urinary urgency, and nocturia was associated with Parkinson's disease compared to the control group.

Abstract
Circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm is important for the maintenance of healthy daily life, and its disruption is associated with poor outcomes. Cardiovascular autonomic failure is often observed in older populations but has a greater impact on neurodegenerative disorders such as α-synucleinopathies. These BP abnormalities include orthostatic hypotension (OH), supine hypertension (SH), and a loss of nocturnal BP fall. OH not only causes falls or syncope but is also related to cognitive impairment in α-synucleinopathies. For example, OH doubles or triples the risk for the development of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). The diffuse central and peripheral neuropathology of α-synuclein may contribute to both OH and cognitive impairment. Moreover, repeated cerebral hypoperfusion in OH is thought to be related to cerebrovascular and neuronal damage, which may cause cognitive impairment. SH, which often coexists with OH, is also associated with cognitive impairment through cerebrovascular damage, such as white matter lesions and cerebral microbleeds. The reverse-dipping (riser) pattern on ambulatory BP monitoring is commonly observed in PD (∼56%), regardless of disease duration and severity. It is also related to cognitive impairment and more pronounced when coexisting with OH. These abnormal circadian BP profiles may be synergistically associated with cognitive impairment and poor outcomes in α-synucleinopathies. Although evidence for aggressive control of BP dysregulation improving cognitive impairment and outcomes is limited, regular BP monitoring appears to be important for total management of α-synucleinopathies.

Abstract
Idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome is associated with the loss of dopaminergic cells. It is defined by the presence of akinesia together with one of the cardinal symptoms: rigor, tremor, or postural instability. As the perioperative management of these patients can be challenging and they have an increased perioperative risk, every anaesthesiologist should know some special features. If a patient with Parkinson's disease does not receive the required amount of dopa, akinetic crisis may occur. Moreover, the administration of dopamine-antagonistic drugs can trigger a malignant neuroleptic syndrome. These are life-threatening clinical pictures that require intensive medical treatment. Therefore, patients with Parkinson's disease should be enabled to keep the period without the intake of the specific medication as short as possible. General anaesthesia should be performed with short acting anaesthetics and a regional anaesthesia might be beneficial. Besides, all dopamine antagonists sometimes used for prophylaxis or therapy of delirium or PONV (haloperidol, metoclopramide) are contraindicated. Alternatives are short-acting benzodiazepines, atypical neuroleptics and domperidone.

Abstract
Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) such as dysautonomia and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) are recognized to be important prodromal symptoms that may also indicate clinical subtypes of PD with different pathogenesis. Unbiased clustering analyses showed that subjects with dysautonomia and RBD symptoms, as well as early cognitive dysfunction, have faster progression of the disease. Through analysis of the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) de novo PD cohort, we tested the hypothesis that symptoms of dysautonomia and RBD, which are readily assessed by standard questionnaires in an ambulatory care setting, may help to independently prognosticate disease progression. Although these two symptoms associate closely, dysautonomia symptoms predict severe progression of motor and non-motor symptoms better than RBD symptoms across the 3-year follow-up period. Autonomic system involvement has not received as much attention and may be important to consider for stratification of subjects for clinical trials and for counseling patients.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension is an unusually large decrease in blood pressure on standing that increases the risk of adverse outcomes even when asymptomatic. Improvements in haemodynamic profiling with continuous blood pressure measurements have uncovered four major subtypes: initial orthostatic hypotension, delayed blood pressure recovery, classic orthostatic hypotension, and delayed orthostatic hypotension. Clinical presentations are varied and range from cognitive slowing with hypotensive unawareness or unexplained falls to classic presyncope and syncope. Establishing whether symptoms are due to orthostatic hypotension requires careful history taking, a thorough physical examination, and supine and upright blood pressure measurements. Management and prognosis vary according to the underlying cause, with the main distinction being whether orthostatic hypotension is neurogenic or non-neurogenic. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension might be the earliest clinical manifestation of Parkinson's disease or related synucleinopathies, and often coincides with supine hypertension. The emerging variety of clinical presentations advocates a stepwise, individualised, and primarily non-pharmacological approach to the management of orthostatic hypotension. Such an approach could include the cessation of blood pressure lowering drugs, adoption of lifestyle measures (eg, counterpressure manoeuvres), and treatment with pharmacological agents in selected cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While autonomic failure is a well-known prognostic factor for more aggressive disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD), with a three- to sevenfold higher risk of dementia and death within 10 years after the diagnosis, the individual impact of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urogenital, thermoregulatory, and pupillomotor autonomic domains on PD clinical outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the 5-year risk of developing dementia, falls, postural instability, dysarthria, and dysphagia in PD patients with and without autonomic impairment at baseline and to assess the joint and individual association of each autonomic domain on these key functional outcomes. In addition, we aimed to determine the impact of each autonomic domain on activities of daily living (ADLs) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS We enrolled 65 consecutive PD patients in a 5-year cohort study involving standardized evaluations of autonomic symptoms, orthostatic hypotension, and motor and non-motor features, including cognitive function. Associations were estimated as odds ratio and adjusted for PD duration, age, and baseline motor impairment. RESULTS Cardiovascular dysautonomia was associated with a sevenfold higher risk of developing dementia (95%CI: 1.154-50.436; p = 0.035) and a fivefold higher risk of falls (95%CI: 1.099-18.949; p = 0.039), as well as significantly higher impairment in ADLs (p = 0.042) and HRQoL (p = 0.031). No relevant associations were found between the other autonomic domains and these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular dysautonomia, but not other domains, showed an association with worse 5-year clinical outcomes in PD. Our data suggest a specific role for cardiovascular autonomic dysregulation in the pathogenic mechanisms of PD progression.

Abstract
Cardiac baroreflex and leg muscles activation are two important mechanisms for blood pressure regulation, failure of which could result in syncope and falls. Parkinson’s disease is known to be associated with cardiac baroreflex impairment and skeletal muscle dysfunction contributing to falls. However, the mechanical effect of leg muscles contractions on blood pressure (muscle-pump) and the baroreflex-like responses of leg muscles to blood pressure changes is yet to be comprehensively investigated. In this study, we examined the involvement of the cardiac baroreflex and this hypothesized reflex muscle-pump function (cardio-postural coupling) to maintain blood pressure in Parkinson’s patients and healthy controls during an orthostatic challenge induced via a head-up tilt test. We also studied the mechanical effect of the heart and leg muscles contractions on blood pressure. We recorded electrocardiogram blood pressure and electromyogram from 21 patients with Parkinson’s disease and 18 age-matched healthy controls during supine, head-up tilt at 70°, and standing positions with eyes open. The interaction and bidirectional causalities between the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal signals were studied using wavelet transform coherence and convergent cross mapping techniques, respectively. Parkinson’s patients displayed an impaired cardiac baroreflex and a reduced mechanical effect of the heart on blood pressure during supine, tilt and standing positions. However, the effectiveness of the cardiac baroreflex decreased in both Parkinson’s patients and healthy controls during standing as compared to supine. In addition, Parkinson’s patients demonstrated cardio-postural coupling impairment along with a mechanical muscle pump dysfunction which both could lead to dizziness and falls. Moreover, the cardiac baroreflex had a limited effect on blood pressure during standing while lower limb muscles continued to contract and maintain blood pressure via the muscle-pump mechanism. The study findings highlighted altered bidirectional coupling between heart rate and blood pressure, as well as between muscle activity and blood pressure in Parkinson’s disease. The outcomes of this study could assist in the development of appropriate physical exercise programs to reduce falls in Parkinson’s disease by monitoring the cardiac baroreflex and cardio-postural coupling effect on maintaining blood pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Orthostatic hypotension (OH) represents a frequent but under-recognized phenomenon in Parkinson's disease (PD). During COVID-19 pandemic, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have become pivotal in the management of chronic diseases like PD, not only to assess motor impairment, but also for vital signs monitoring. This pilot study aimed to propose a real-time remote home-monitoring system and protocol for PD patients with OH. METHODS Vital parameters were acquired by wireless devices and transmitted to an ICT platform, providing data and smart notifications to the healthcare provider through an interactive web portal. Eight patients with idiopathic PD and OH underwent 5-day monitoring. Data about OH episodes, therapeutic interventions, impact on daily activities, and patient satisfaction were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The proposed solution allowed the identification of 65 OH episodes and subsequent medical interventions. Thirty-five episodes were asymptomatic, especially in the postprandial and in the afternoon recordings. Systolic-blood-pressure (SBP) and diastolic-blood-pressure (DBP) were significantly lower in symptomatic episodes, while the pressure drops resulted significantly higher in presence of symptoms. High usability and patient satisfaction scores were observed. CONCLUSION The proposed home-monitoring system and protocol have proved to provide useful information and to allow prompt interventions in the management of PD patients with OH during COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is an early non-motor manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the underlying mechanism of hemodynamic changes in patients with PD and OH remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic cerebral autoregulation changes in patients with PD with OH. Ninety patients with PD and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. The patients' non-invasive blood pressure (BP) and cerebral blood flow velocity were simultaneously recorded at supine and orthostatic positions during the active standing test (AST). Transfer function analysis was used to determine autoregulatory parameters including gain [i.e., damping effect of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) on the magnitude of BP oscillation] and phase difference (i.e., the time delay of the cerebral blood flow response to BP). Sixteen patients (17.8%) in the PD population were diagnosed with OH (PD-OH). The AST results were normal for 74 patients (82.2%) (PD-NOR). In the supine position, the PD-OH group had a lower phase degree than the PD-NOR group (50.3 ± 23.4 vs. 72.6 ± 32.2 vs. 68.9 ± 12.1, p = 0.020); however, no significant difference was found upon comparing with the HC group. In the orthostatic position, the normalized gain was significantly higher for the symptomatic OH group than for the asymptomatic OH group and HC group (1.50 ± 0.58 vs. 0.97 ± 0.29 vs. 1.10 ± 0.31, p = 0.019). A symptomatic OH in the PD population indicates an impaired cerebral autoregulation ability in the orthostatic position. Cerebral autoregulation tends to be impaired in the supine position in the OH population.

Machine learning applied to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: a new tool to diagnose autonomic failure? J Neurol 2022; 269:3833-3840.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autonomic failure (AF) complicates Parkinson's disease (PD) in one-third of cases, resulting in complex blood pressure (BP) abnormalities. While autonomic testing represents the diagnostic gold standard for AF, accessibility to this examination remains limited to a few tertiary referral centers. OBJECTIVE The present study sought to investigate the accuracy of a machine learning algorithm applied to 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) as a tool to facilitate the diagnosis of AF in patients with PD. METHODS Consecutive PD patients naïve to vasoactive medications underwent 24 h-ABPM and autonomic testing. The diagnostic accuracy of a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) model exploiting ABPM parameters was compared to autonomic testing (as per a modified version of the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score not including the sudomotor score) in the diagnosis of AF. RESULTS The study population consisted of n = 80 PD patients (33% female) with a mean age of 64 ± 10 years old and disease duration of 6.2 ± 4 years. The prevalence of AF at the autonomic testing was 36%. The LDA model showed 91.3% accuracy (98.0% specificity, 79.3% sensitivity) in predicting AF, significantly higher than any of the ABPM variables considered individually (hypotensive episodes = 82%; reverse dipping = 79%; awakening hypotension = 74%). CONCLUSION LDA model based on 24-h ABPM parameters can effectively predict AF, allowing greater accessibility to an accurate and easy to administer test for AF. Potential applications range from systematic AF screening to monitoring and treating blood pressure dysregulation caused by PD and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE In neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, blood pressure falls when upright owing to impaired release of norepinephrine, leading to dizziness. Ampreloxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, increases circulating norepinephrine levels. This study explored the safety of ampreloxetine and its effect on blood pressure and symptoms in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. METHODS A multicenter ascending-dose trial (range 1-20 mg, Part A) was followed by a 1 day, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study (median dose 15 mg, Part B). Eligible patients then enrolled in a 20-week, open-label, steady-state extension phase (median dose 10 mg, Part C) followed by a 4-week withdrawal. Assessments included the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (item 1), supine/seated/standing blood pressure, and safety. RESULTS Thirty-four patients (age 66 ± 8 years, 22 men) were enrolled. Part A: The proportion of participants with a positive response (i.e., increase from baseline in seated systolic blood pressure of ≥ 10 mmHg) was greater with the 5 and 10 mg ampreloxetine doses than with placebo or other active ampreloxetine doses. Part B: Seated blood pressure increased 15.7 mmHg 4 h after ampreloxetine and decreased 14.2 mmHg after placebo [least squares mean difference (95% CI) 29.9 mmHg (7.6-52.3); P = 0.0112]. Part C: Symptoms of dizziness/lightheadedness improved 3.1 ± 3.0 points from baseline and standing systolic blood pressure increased 11 ± 12 mmHg. After 4 weeks of withdrawal, symptoms returned to pretreatment levels. The effect of ampreloxetine on supine blood pressure was minimal throughout treatment duration. CONCLUSION Ampreloxetine was well tolerated and improved orthostatic symptoms and seated/standing blood pressure with little change in supine blood pressure. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02705755 (first posted March 10, 2016).

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. This review aims to help clinicians to better understand the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies. The literatures about CAD in patients with PD were reviewed. References for this review were identified by searches of PubMed between 1972 and March 2021, with the search term “cardiovascular autonomic dysfunctions, postural hypotension, orthostatic hypotension (OH), supine hypertension (SH), postprandial hypotension, and nondipping”. The pathogenesis, including the neurogenic and non-neurogenic mechanisms, and the current pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment for CAD, were analyzed. CAD mainly includes four aspects, which are OH, SH, postprandial hypotension and nondipping, among them, OH is the main component. Both non-neurogenic and neurogenic mechanisms are involved in CAD. Failure of the baroreflex circulate, which includes the lesions at the afferent, efferent or central components, is an important pathogenesis of CAD. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment alleviate CAD-related symptoms by acting on the baroreflex reflex circulate. However, pharmacological strategy has the limitation of failing to enhance baroreflex sensitivity and life quality. Novel OH treatment drugs, such as pyridostigmine and atomoxetine, can effectively improve OH-related symptoms via enhancing residual sympathetic tone, without adverse reactions of supine hypertension. Baroreflex impairment is a crucial pathological mechanism associated with CAD in PD. Currently, non-pharmacological strategy was the preferred option for its advantage of enhancing baroreflex sensitivity. Pharmacological treatment is a second-line option. Therefore, to find drugs that can enhance baroreflex sensitivity, especially via acting on its central components, is urgently needed in the scientific research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common non-motor feature of Parkinson's disease that may cause unexplained falls, syncope, lightheadedness, cognitive impairment, dyspnea, fatigue, blurred vision, shoulder, neck, or low-back pain upon standing. Blood pressure (BP) measurements supine and after 3 minutes upon standing screen for OH at bedside. The medical history and cardiovascular autonomic function tests ultimately distinguish neurogenic OH, which is due to impaired sympathetic nerve activity, from non-neurogenic causes of OH, such as hypovolemia and BP lowering drugs. The correction of non-neurogenic causes and exacerbating factors, lifestyle changes and non-pharmacological measures are the cornerstone of OH treatment. If these measures fail, pharmacological interventions (sympathomimetic agents and/or fludrocortisone) should be introduced stepwise depending on the severity of symptoms. About 50% of patients with neurogenic OH also suffer from supine and nocturnal hypertension, which should be monitored for with in-office, home and 24 h-ambulatory BP measurements. Behavioral measures help prevent supine hypertension, which is eventually treated with non-pharmacological measures and bedtime administration of short-acting anti-hypertensive drugs in severe cases. If left untreated, OH impacts on activity of daily living and increases the risk of syncope and falls. Supine hypertension is asymptomatic, but often limits an effective treatment of OH, increases the risk of hypertensive emergencies and, combined with OH, facilitates end-organ damage. A timely management of both OH and supine hypertension ameliorates quality of life and prevents short and long-term complications in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), with an incidence ranging from 14% to 54%. AIMS This study explored changes in cognition and transcranial sonography (TCS) findings in patients with PD and OH. METHODS We enrolled PD patients who visited the outpatient or inpatient department from 2017 to 2020. Blood pressure was measured in different positions, and demographic data were collected. Motor and nonmotor symptoms were evaluated using standard scales. A subset of 107 patients underwent TCS. RESULTS We enrolled 66 PD-OH patients and 92 PD-no orthostatic hypotension (NOH) patients. There were no significant differences in gender, age, disease duration, or Hoehn and Yahr stage between groups. Binary logistic regression revealed age as an independent risk factor for OH in PD patients. There were statistically significant group differences in visuospatial and executive function and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) I and II scores (p < .05). Among PD-OH patients, there was a statistically significant difference in UPDRS II and III scores between patients with or without clinical symptoms (p < .05). The substantia nigra (SN) area was significantly larger in PD-NOH patients (0.45 ± 0.18 cm2 ) than PD-OH patients (0.34 ± 0.16 cm2 ) (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS PD-OH patients had poorer visuospatial and executive function and lower UPDRS I and II scores compared with PD-NOH patients. Within the PD-OH group, there was no significant difference in cognition between patients with or without clinical symptoms. The difference in the SN area may indicate different subtypes of PD or a tendency to develop parkinsonism syndrome.

Abstract
Background Initial orthostatic hypotension is a clinically relevant syndrome in older adults which has been associated with symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence of orthostatic intolerance symptoms in older adults with initial orthostatic hypotension. Methods MEDLINE (from 1946), EMBASE (from 1974) and Cochrane were searched to December 6th, 2019 using the terms "initial orthostatic hypotension", "postural hypotension" and "older adults". Study selection involved the following criteria: published in English; mean or median age ≥ 65 years and diagnosis of initial orthostatic hypotension encompassed a decrease in systolic blood pressure by ≥ 40 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure by ≥ 20 mmHg within a maximum of 1 min following a postural change. Results Of 8311 articles, 12 articles reporting initial orthostatic hypotension prevalence in 3446 participants with a mean age of 75 (6 SD) years (56.5% female) were included. Five initial orthostatic hypotension definition variations were utilised and symptoms were reported in six articles (968 participants, mean age 73.4 (6.1 SD) years, 56% female). The prevalence of symptoms in older adults with initial orthostatic hypotension ranged from 24 to 100% and was dependent on variations in timing or the inclusion of symptoms in the initial orthostatic hypotension definition. Conclusions Where orthostatic intolerance symptoms were reported, a large proportion of older adults with a diagnosis of initial orthostatic hypotension were symptomatic. However, the literature on initial orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic intolerance symptoms is scarce and a variety of definitions of initial orthostatic hypotension are utilised.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) has heterogeneous clinical manifestations and prognoses. It is accompanied by a group of motor and non-motor symptoms ranging from independence to total disability, limiting work and personal care activities. Currently, disease subtype markers for informing prognosis remain elusive. However, some studies have reported an association between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and faster motor and non-motor symptom progression, including autonomic dysfunction and cognitive decline. Moreover, since autonomic dysfunction has been described in idiopathic forms of RBD, and they share some central regulatory pathways, it remains unclear whether they have a primary association or if they are more severe in patients with PD and RBD, and thus are a disease subtype marker. This article aimed at critically reviewing the literature on the controversies about the prevalence of RBD in PD, the higher incidence of PD non-motor symptoms associated with RBD, the evidence of faster motor worsening in parkinsonian patients with this parasomnia, and the main pathophysiological hypotheses that support these findings.

Abstract
An expert committee was formed to reach consensus on the use of Tilt Table Testing (TTT) in the diagnosis of disorders that may cause transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) and to outline when other provocative cardiovascular autonomic tests are needed. While TTT adds to history taking, it cannot be a substitute for it. An abnormal TTT result is most meaningful if the provoked event is recognised by patients or eyewitnesses as similar to spontaneous ones. The minimum requirements to perform TTT are a tilt table, a continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor, at least one ECG lead, protocols for the indications stated below and trained staff. This basic equipment lends itself to perform (1) additional provocation tests, such as the active standing test carotid sinus massage and autonomic function tests; (2) additional measurements, such as video, EEG, transcranial Doppler, NIRS, end-tidal CO2 or neuro-endocrine tests; (3) tailor-made provocation procedures in those with a specific and consistent trigger of TLOC. TTT and other provocative cardiovascular autonomic tests are indicated if the initial evaluation does not yield a definite or highly likely diagnosis, but raises a suspicion of (1) reflex syncope, (2) the three forms of orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e. initial, classic and delayed OH, as well as delayed orthostatic blood pressure recovery, (3) postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or (4) psychogenic pseudosyncope. A therapeutic indication for TTT is to teach patients with reflex syncope and OH to recognise hypotensive symptoms and to perform physical counter manoeuvres.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder classically characterized by symptoms of motor impairment (e.g., tremor and rigidity), but also presenting with important non-motor impairments. There is evidence for the reduced activity of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic limbs of the autonomic nervous system at rest in PD. Moreover, inappropriate autonomic adjustments accompany exercise, which can lead to inadequate hemodynamic responses, the failure to match the metabolic demands of working skeletal muscle and exercise intolerance. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, but relevant alterations in several discrete central regions (e.g., dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve, intermediolateral cell column) have been identified. Herein, we critically evaluate the clinically significant and complex associations between the autonomic dysfunction, fatigue and exercise capacity in PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore small fiber somatosensory and sympathetic function in PD and MSA. METHODS We recruited 20 PD patients (7 women, median age 65.5 years; IQR 54.75-70.0), 10 MSA patients (4 women; median age 68 years; IQR 66.25-74.0), and 10 healthy subjects (HC; 4 women, median age 68; IQR 59.0-71.0 years). Autonomic testing included forehead cooling, intradermal microdialysis of norepinephrine (NE; 10-5; 10-6; 10-7; and 10-8), and orthostatic hypotension (OH); somatosensory testing included quantitative sensory testing (QST) according to the protocol of the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain (DFNS). RESULTS OH occurred more frequently in PD (p = 0.018) and MSA (p = 0.002) compared to HC. Vasoconstriction responses were stronger in PD compared to MSA during forehead cooling (p = 0.044) and microdialysis of physiologically concentrated NE solutions (10-7; 10-8; p = 0.017). PD and MSA had impaired cold (PD: p < 0.01; MSA: p < 0.05) and warm detection thresholds (PD and MSA, both p < 0.05). The mechanical detection threshold was higher in PD (p < 0.01). Conversely, mechanical pain thresholds were decreased in PD and MSA (both p < 0.001), indicating mechanical hyperalgesia. CONCLUSION In contrast to MSA, we found evidence of peripheral adrenoreceptor hypersensitivity in PD, probably caused by peripheral sympathetic denervation. Sensory testing revealed peripheral neuropathy and central pain sensitization in PD and MSA. Jointly, our data demonstrate autonomic and somatosensory dysfunction in PD and MSA.

Abstract
Maintenance of upright blood pressure critically depends on the autonomic nervous system and its failure leads to neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). The most severe cases are seen in neurodegenerative disorders caused by abnormal α-synuclein deposits: multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and pure autonomic failure (PAF). The development of novel treatments for NOH derives from research in these disorders. We provide a brief review of their underlying pathophysiology relevant to understand the rationale behind treatment options for NOH. The goal of treatment is not to normalize blood pressure but rather to improve quality of life and prevent syncope and falls by reducing symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion. Patients not able to recognize NOH symptoms are at a higher risk for falls. The first step in the management of NOH is to educate patients on how to avoid high-risk situations and providers to identify medications that trigger or worsen NOH. Conservative countermeasures, including diet and compression garments, should always precede pharmacologic therapies. Volume expanders (fludrocortisone and desmopressin) should be used with caution. Drugs that enhance residual sympathetic tone (pyridostigmine and atomoxetine) are more effective in patients with mild disease and in MSA patients with spared postganglionic fibers. Norepinephrine replacement therapy (midodrine and droxidopa) is more effective in patients with neurodegeneration of peripheral noradrenergic fibers like PAF. NOH is often associated with other cardiovascular diseases, most notably supine hypertension, and treatment should be adapted to their presence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In autonomic failure, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) and neurogenic supine hypertension (nSH) are interrelated conditions characterized by postural blood pressure (BP) dysregulation. nOH results in a sustained BP drop upon standing, which can lead to symptoms that include lightheadedness, orthostatic dizziness, presyncope, and syncope. nSH is characterized by elevated BP when supine and, although often asymptomatic, may increase long-term cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk. This article reviews the pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of nOH and nSH, and describes the management of patients with both nOH and nSH. RECENT FINDINGS Pressor medications required to treat the symptoms of nOH also increase the risk of nSH. Because nOH and nSH are hemodynamically opposed, therapies to treat one condition may exacerbate the other. The management of patients with nOH who also have nSH can be challenging and requires an individualized approach to balance the short- and long-term risks associated with these conditions. Approaches to manage neurogenic BP dysregulation include nonpharmacologic approaches and pharmacologic treatments. A stepwise treatment approach is presented to help guide neurologists in managing patients with both nOH and nSH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pure autonomic failure (PAF) results from an impaired peripheral autonomic nervous system, and clinical symptoms present with orthostatic hypotension. While the impact on cardiovascular indices of orthostatic intolerance are well-characterized, more limited information is available regarding cerebral hemodynamic dysfunction in PAF. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in PAF, and to quantify the relationship between CBF and clinical indicators of disease severity, including peripheral supine arterial blood pressure. METHODS Participants with PAF (n = 17) and age- and sex-matched normotensive healthy controls (n = 17) were examined using established clinical rating scales, cardiovascular autonomic function tests, and 3T MRI measurements of CBF. CBF-weighted images were also used to determine the prevalence of venous hyperintensities from the major dural sinuses as evidence of abnormal capillary flow. Nonparametric tests and general linear models were used to evaluate differences and correlations between study variables. RESULTS Gray matter CBF was higher in PAF (51.1 ± 13.4 mL/100 g/min) compared to controls (42.9 ± 6.5 mL/100 g/min, p = 0.007). Venous hyperintensities were more prevalent in PAF relative to controls, and the presence and degree of venous hyperintensities was associated with higher mean CBF (p = 0.027). In PAF participants, CBF and supine systolic blood pressure were inversely related (Spearman's rho = -0.545, p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that PAF patients may exhibit elevated CBF and provide evidence that this condition exerts a hemodynamic impact in the central nervous system.

Interrelationships between Survival, Sex, and Blood Pressure in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy. Neuroepidemiology 2021; 55:1-6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to estimate survival among patients with multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) or cerebellar type MSA (MSA-C) in relation to blood pressure (BP) measurements, by sex. METHODS A cohort of 99 MSA patients was studied retrospectively. Their BP measurements were obtained during prolonged (40 min, vertical position) drug-free tilt testing. We used K-M survival curves and Cox regression to calculate adjusted (to age of onset) hazard ratios (HRs) of BP measurements on time to death by MSA subtype and sex. RESULTS Fifty-two MSA patients were males and 47 were females. Sixty-three of them had MSA-P and 36 had MSA-C. The mean age at motor symptom onset was 61.1 ± 10.4 years, and mean disease duration at the time of BP assessment was 8.0 ± 4.7 years. The 2 study groups (MSA-P and MSA-C) did not differ significantly in age at MSA onset, sex ratio, or disease duration. Survival time did not differ between the groups {medians: 12 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8-28) and 10 years (95% CI: 8-13), respectively}. The MSA-P group showed a trend towards better survival for males (log-rank p = 0.0925). The maximal diastolic orthostatic BP decline during tilt testing had a borderline positive association with death risk among MSA-C males (adjusted HR = 1.18, p = 0.0665), and systolic BP after 10 min in a supine position had a significant positive association with death risk among MSA-P males (adjusted HR = 1.06, p = 0.0354). CONCLUSIONS The findings of a sex-based difference in the effect of BP on death risk may be important for adjusting the therapeutic approach to MSA patients.
