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.

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.

[PMID: 38216420 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
Autonomic failure is frequently encountered in synucleinopathies such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body disease, and pure autonomic failure (PAF). Cardiovascular autonomic failure affects quality of life and can be life threatening due to the risk of falls and the increased incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. In PD and PAF, pathogenic involvement is mainly post-ganglionic, while in MSA, the involvement is mainly pre-ganglionic. Cardiovascular tests exploring the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are based on the analysis of continuous, non-invasive recordings of heart rate and digital blood pressure (BP). They assess facets of sympathetic and parasympathetic activities and provide indications on the integrity of the baroreflex arc. The tilt test is widely used in clinical practice. It can be combined with catecholamine level measurement and analysis of baroreflex activity and cardiac variability for a detailed analysis of cardiovascular damage. MIBG myocardial scintigraphy is the most sensitive test for early detection of autonomic dysfunction. It provides a useful measure of post-ganglionic sympathetic fiber integrity and function and is therefore an effective tool for distinguishing PD from other parkinsonian syndromes such as MSA. Autonomic cardiovascular investigations differentiate between certain parkinsonian syndromes that would otherwise be difficult to segregate, particularly in the early stages of the disease. Exploring autonomic failure by gathering information about residual sympathetic tone, low plasma norepinephrine levels, and supine hypertension can guide therapeutic management of orthostatic hypotension (OH).

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
Non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are well described in both clinical practice and the literature, enabling their management and enhancing our understanding of PD. NMS can dominate the clinical pictures and NMS subtypes have recently been proposed, initially based on clinical observations, and later confirmed in data driven analyses of large datasets and in biomarker-based studies. In this chapter, we provide an update on what is known about three common subtypes of NMS in PD. The pain (Park-pain), sleep dysfunction (Park-sleep), and autonomic dysfunction (Park-autonomic), providing an overview of their individual classification, clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and potential treatments.

Abstract
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, adult-onset, progressive neurodegenerative disorder with major diagnostic challenges. Aiming for a better diagnostic accuracy particularly at early disease stages, novel Movement Disorder Society criteria for the diagnosis of MSA (MDS MSA criteria) have been recently developed. They introduce a neuropathologically established MSA category and three levels of clinical diagnostic certainty including clinically established MSA, clinically probable MSA, and the research category of possible prodromal MSA. The diagnosis of clinically established and clinically probable MSA is based on the presence of cardiovascular or urological autonomic failure, parkinsonism (poorly L-Dopa-responsive for the diagnosis of clinically established MSA), and cerebellar syndrome. These core clinical features need to be associated with supportive motor and non-motor features (MSA red flags) and absence of any exclusion criteria. Characteristic brain MRI markers are required for a diagnosis of clinically established MSA. A research category of possible prodromal MSA is devised to capture patients manifesting with autonomic failure or REM sleep behavior disorder and only mild motor signs at the earliest disease stage. There is a number of promising laboratory markers for MSA that may help increase the overall clinical diagnostic accuracy. In this review, we will discuss the core and supportive clinical features for a diagnosis of MSA in light of the new MDS MSA criteria, which laboratory tools may assist in the clinical diagnosis and which major differential diagnostic challenges should be borne in mind.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate cardiac function, particularly left ventricular systolic function, in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) using velocity vector imaging (VVI), and to determine whether a correlation exists between left ventricular global systolic function and PD severity. METHODS A case-control study design was used to select 56 PD patients and 30 healthy controls from January 2019 to December 2019. The characteristics of age, sex, BMI and course of disease were collected. The Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) score was collected to record the grading of PD. The left ventricular systolic function of all patients was evaluated by variable vapor injection (VVI). The left ventricular systolic function was compared between the case group and the control group, and the correlation between cardiac dysfunction and the severity of PD symptoms was assessed using the modified H-Y scale. RESULTS Compared with control group, left ventricular global systolic function18.22 (17.08, 19.12) vs 18.88 (18.12, 20.01) was lower in PD patients as indicated by left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.039). Additionally, H-Y scores (r = -0.404) and PD duration(r = -0.323) were significantly correlated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (P < 0.01), GLS (P < 0.001), left ventricular global radial strain (GRS; P < 0.001), and left ventricular global circumferential strain (GCS; P < 0.001), along with their associated peak strain rates (GLSr, GRSr, and GCSr; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Subclinical left ventricular global systolic dysfunction in patients with PD can be detected using VVI, and reduced left ventricular systolic function correlates with the modified H-Y score and duration of the disease.

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
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is a frequent disabling feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is treatable and may be a risk factor for cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the relationship between OH with PD-associated minimal cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and dementia (PDD) and assess the mitigating effects of potential confounding factors. METHODS Observational studies published in English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese up to January 2022 were searched for in PubMed, EBSCO, and SciELO databases. The primary aim of this study was to revise the association between OH with PD-MCI and PDD. Alongside, we assessed OH as related to cognitive rating scales. Fixed and random models were fitted. Meta-regression was used to assess the mitigating effects of confounding variables. RESULTS We identified 18 studies that reported OH association with PDD or PD-MCI, 15 of them reporting OH association with cognitive rating scales. OH was significantly associated with PDD/PD-MCI (OR, 95% CI: 3.31, 2.16-5.08; k = 18, n = 2251; p < 0.01). OH association with PDD (4.64, 2.68-8.02; k = 13, n = 1194; p < 0.01) was stronger than with PD-MCI (1.82, 0.92-3.58; k = 5, n = 1056; p = NS). The association between OH and PD-MCI/PDD was stronger in studies with a higher proportion of women and in those with a lower frequency of supine hypertension. Global cognition rating scale scores were lower in patients with OH (SMD, 95% CI: - 0.55, - 0.83/ - 0.26; k = 12, n = 1427; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Orthostatic hypotension shows as a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment in PD, especially in women and patients not suffering from hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by Parkinsonism, ataxia, and autonomic nervous failure. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is the main feature of central vascular autonomic failure in MSA. OBJECTIVE The study aimed elucidate the effects of OH on cognitive function, disease milestones, and survival. METHODS A total of 444 patients with clinically established MSA were enrolled. Mild and severe OH were defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >20/10 mmHg and SBP/DBP ≥30/15 mmHg, respectively. RESULTS In this study, 215 MSA patients presented without OH, 88 had mild OH, and 141 had severe OH. The proportion of MSA-C in the severe OH subgroup was significantly higher than that in the subgroup without OH (95/46 vs. 113/102, p = 0.021). The UMSARS I score and the frequency of supine hypertension (SH) in patients with OH were significantly higher than those in patients without OH (16.22 vs. 16.89 vs. 14.60, p < 0.001; 77/64 vs. 29/59 vs. 32/183, p < 0.001). Factors related to the severity of OH included sex (OR, 0.65; p = 0.031), onset age (OR, 0.98; p = 0.029), and SH (OR, 0.21; p < 0.001). The median survival time of patients with severe OH was significantly lower than that of patients without OH (6.79 vs. 8.13 years, p = 0.001). Consistently, Cox survival analysis found that compared with patients without OH, patients with severe OH had a significantly increased risk of death (OR, 2.22; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our large cohort study of MSA provides additional evidence for the negative impact of severe OH on survival.

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.

Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment are common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aimed to investigate whether impaired dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is associated with OH and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), and analyze the related risk factors in patients with PDD. Materials and methods We enrolled 89 patients with PD and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). Cognition and different cognitive domains were assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale. Non-invasive continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity were assessed using a servo-controlled finger plethysmograph and transcranial Doppler, respectively. dCA was examined using supine and orthostatic changes with transfer function analysis to derive the autoregulatory parameters of phase, gain, and coherence. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors for PDD. Results We found that 21 (23.6%) patients with PD had OH. These patients showed worse cognitive performance in specific cognitive tasks, such as language and orientation. The patients with OH also had poorer dCA; the very low frequency (VLF) phase in two different postures was lower than that in patients without OH as well as HCs (both P < 0.05). And the normalized gain in the VLF and low frequency (LF) in standing position was higher in PD patients with and without OH than in HCs. PDD patients also had significantly higher LF normalized gain when standing than patients without dementia (P = 0.015), indicating impaired dCA. LF normalized gain in standing (odds ratio: 3.756, 95% confidence interval: 1.241–11.367) and education were significantly associated with PDD. Conclusion Diminished dCA may represent a potential mechanism for OH and cognitive impairment and low educational level might be a significant factor contributing to the increased risk of PDD.

Abstract
Blood pressure regulation is an automatic, moment-by-moment buffering of the blood pressure in response to physiological changes such as orthostasis, exercise and haemorrhage. This finely orchestrated reflex is called the baroreflex. It is a regulated arc of afferent, central and efferent arms. Multiple physiological changes occur with ageing that can disrupt this reflex, making blood pressure regulation less effective. In addition, multiple changes can occur with ageing-related diseases such as neurodegeneration, atherosclerosis, deconditioning and polypharmacy. These changes commonly result in orthostatic hypotension, hypertension or both, and are consistently associated with multiple adverse outcomes. In this article, we discuss the healthy baroreflex, and physiological and pathophysiological reasons for impaired baroreflex function in older people. We discuss why the common clinical manifestations of orthostatic hypotension and concomitant supine hypertension occur, and strategies for balancing these conflicting priorities. Finally, we discuss strategies for treating them, outlining our practice alongside consensus and expert guidance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (OH) frequently have hypertension in the supine position (sHTN). We review the controversies surrounding the need and safety of treating sHTN in patients with OH. RECENT FINDINGS The presence of sHTN complicates the management of OH because treatment of one can worsen the other. New approaches have been developed to treat OH without worsening sHTN by preferentially improving standing blood pressure, such as medications that harness the patient's residual sympathetic tone like pyridostigmine and atomoxetine, and devices such as an automated abdominal binder that targets the inappropriate splanchnic venous pooling causing OH. There is a reluctance to treat sHTN for fear of increasing the risks of falls and syncope associated with OH, thought to be more immediate and dangerous than the late complications of organ damage associated with sHTN. This, however, does not take into account that nighttime sHTN induces natriuresis, volume loss, and begets daytime orthostatic hypotension. It is possible to treat sHTN in ways that reduce the risk of worsening OH. Furthermore, novel approaches, such as the use of local heat can control nighttime sHTN, reduce nocturia, and improve OH. Although continued progress is needed, recent findings offer hope that we can treat nocturnal sHTN and at the same time improve daytime OH, lessening the controversy whether to treat or not sHTN.

Abstract
Dysautonomia is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). Most dysautonomic symptoms appear due to alterations in the peripheral nerves of the autonomic nervous system, including both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The degeneration of sympathetic nerve fibers and neurons leads to cardiovascular dysfunction, which is highly prevalent in PD patients. Cardiac alterations such as orthostatic hypotension, heart rate variability, modifications in cardiogram parameters and baroreflex dysfunction can appear in both the early and late stages of PD, worsening as the disease progresses. In PD patients it is generally found that parasympathetic activity is decreased, while sympathetic activity is increased. This situation gives rise to an imbalance of both tonicities which might, in turn, promote a higher risk of cardiac damage through tachycardia and vasoconstriction. Cardiovascular abnormalities can also appear as a side effect of PD treatment: L-DOPA can decrease blood pressure and aggravate orthostatic hypotension as a result of a negative inotropic effect on the heart. This unwanted side effect limits the therapeutic use of L-DOPA in geriatric patients with PD and can contribute to the number of hospital admissions. Therefore, it is essential to define the cardiac features related to PD for the monitorization of the heart condition in parkinsonian individuals. This information can allow the application of intervention strategies to improve the course of the disease and the proposition of new alternatives for its treatment to eliminate or reverse the motor and non-motor symptoms, especially in geriatric patients.

Abstract
The α-synucleinopathies comprise a group of adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB,) and — as a restricted non-motor form — pure autonomic failure (PAF). Neuropathologically, the α-synucleinopathies are characterized by aggregates of misfolded α-synuclein in the central and peripheral nervous system. Cardiovascular autonomic failure is a common non-motor symptom in people with PD, a key diagnostic criterion in MSA, a supportive feature for the diagnosis of DLB and disease-defining in PAF. The site of autonomic nervous system lesion differs between the α-synucleinopathies, with a predominantly central lesion pattern in MSA versus a peripheral one in PD, DLB, and PAF. In clinical practice, overlapping autonomic features often challenge the differential diagnosis among the α-synucleinopathies, but also distinguish them from related disorders, such as the tauopathies or other neurodegenerative ataxias. In this review, we discuss the differential diagnostic yield of cardiovascular autonomic failure in individuals presenting with isolated autonomic failure, parkinsonism, cognitive impairment, or cerebellar ataxia.

Abstract
Gestational hypertension is a common disease in clinical practice, which does great harm to the mother and infant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D, sFlt-1, and PLGF and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy. Specimen preparation: after delivery or placental caesarean section, in order to avoid calcification and necrosis in the middle of the placenta, an area of about 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm should be separated immediately. After dehydration, use a Citadel 2000 dryer to dry it and place it in a block of saline for xylene immunohistochemical staining. Statistical processing was performed according to the proportion of positive cells in each part and the depth of staining. Placental tissue collection and treatment: within 20 minutes after the delivery of the placenta, two pieces of the placental tissue (about 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm) were taken from the central zone of the placental maternal surface without obvious bleeding and calcification. They were rinsed repeatedly in normal saline, fixed in 10% neutral formaldehyde solution for 24 hours, dehydrated using an automatic dehydrator, and embedded in paraffin for detection. Before the study, 20 ml of distilled water was added to the sample to stand for 20 minutes; the Cobas E610 immunoanalyzer was turned on, and sFlt-1 and PLGF (placental growth factor) were selected. The serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of pregnant women was detected in the fasting state at 24-28 weeks of gestation, and the best collection time was 8 : 00-11 : 00 in the morning. 5 ml of the whole blood sample without anticoagulant was collected and stored at 0-4°C in a cold storage and dark environment. The serum was obtained by high-speed centrifugation within 24 hours after collection. The method is suitable for the quantitative determination of 25-OH-vitamin D in human serum. In the hypertensive pregnancy group, the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 18.44 ± 3.48 ng/ml, and the sFlt-1/PLGF level was highest at 0-5 weeks followed by 5-10 weeks, 10-15 weeks, and 15-20 weeks. This study provides new ideas and experimental clues for the prevention and treatment of pre-eclampsia.

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
Parkinson's disease patients frequently present cardiovascular dysfunction. Exercise with a self-selected intensity has emerged as a new strategy for exercise prescription aiming to increase exercise adherence. Thus, the current study evaluated the acute cardiovascular responses after a session of aerobic exercise at a traditional intensity and at a self-selected intensity in Parkinson's disease patients. Twenty patients (≥ 50 years old, Hoehn & Yahr 1-3 stages) performed 3 experimental sessions in random order: Traditional session (cycle ergometer, 25 min, 50 rpm, 60-80% maximum heart rate); Self-selected intensity: (cycle ergometer, 25 min, 50 rpm with self-selected intensity); and Control session (resting for 25 min). Before and after 30 min of intervention, brachial and central blood pressure (auscultatory method and pulse wave analysis, respectively), cardiac autonomic modulation (heart rate variability), and arterial stiffness (pulse wave analysis) were evaluated. Brachial and central systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and the augmentation index increased after the control session, whereas no changes were observed after the exercise sessions (P<0.01). Pulse wave velocity and cardiac autonomic modulation parameters did not change after the three interventions. In conclusion, a single session of traditional intensity or self-selected intensity exercises similarly blunted the increase in brachial and central blood pressure and the augmentation index compared to a non-exercise control session in Parkinson's disease patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Syncope presents with diagnostic challenges and is associated with high healthcare costs. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) as one cause of syncope is not well established. We review a case of syncope caused by nOH in a patient with Parkinson's disease.
CASE SUMMARY We describe a case of syncope caused by nOH in Parkinson's disease and review the literature. A 70-year-old man with Parkinson's disease had uncontrolled blood pressure for 1 mo, with blood pressure ranging from 70/40 to 220/112 mmHg, and once lost consciousness lasting for several minutes after getting up. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring indicated nocturnal hypertension (up to 217/110 mmHg) and morning orthostatic hypotension (as low as 73/45 mmHg). Seated-to-standing blood pressure measurement showed that the blood pressure dropped from 173/96 mmHg to 95/68 mmHg after standing for 3 min from supine position. A diagnosis of nOH with supine hypertension was made. During the course of treatment, Midodrine could not improve the symptoms. Finally, the patient's blood pressure stabilized with simple strategies by strengthening exercises, reducing the duration of lying in bed in the daytime, and consuming water intake before getting up.
CONCLUSION nOH is one of the causes of syncope. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a cost-effective method for its diagnosis, and non-pharmacological measures are still the primary management methods.

Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to validate the accuracy of blood pressure (BP) measurement using a smartwatch in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Materials and Methods: We compared 168 pairs of BP (n = 56) measurements acquired by a smartwatch (SM-R850) with those measured by a sphygmomanometer (reference device). Results: Differences between the smartwatch BP and reference BP measurements were compared. The mean and standard deviation of the differences systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), measured by smartwatch and reference device, fulfilled both criterion 1 (0.4 ± 4.6 and 1.1 ± 4.5 mm Hg for DBP and SBP, respectively) and criterion 2 (0.2 ± 2.5 and 0.9 ± 2.4 mm Hg for DBP and SBP, respectively) of the BP validation criterion of the International Organization for Standardization. Conclusion: BP measurement using a smartwatch with a photoplethysmography sensor is an accurate and reliable method in patients with PD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review article was to summarize the cardiovascular and blood pressure profile regarding Parkinson disease patients and to provide an update on the recent advancements in the field of the diagnosis and management of blood pressure abnormalities in these patients. Our goal was to guide physicians to avoid pitfalls in current practice while treating patients with Parkinson disease and blood pressure abnormalities. For this purpose, we searched bibliographic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar) for all publications published on blood pressure effects in Parkinson disease until May 2020. Furthermore, we highlight some thoughts and potential perspectives for the next possible steps in the field. RECENT FINDINGS Blood pressure dysregulation in patients with Parkinson's disease has several implications in clinical practice and presents an ongoing concern. Compared with chronic essential hypertension, the syndrome of combined neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in Parkinson's disease has received little attention. If left untreated, hypertension may lead to cardiovascular disease whereas hypotension may lead to fall-related complications, with tremendous impact on the quality of life of affected individuals. The effect of blood Epressure control and the risk of death from cardiovascular disease in Parkinson disease are largely unexplored. Blood pressure abnormalities in Parkinson disease present bidirectional relationship and the rationale for treating and controlling hypertension in persons with Parkinson disease and concurrent neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and/or supine hypertension is compelling. Further research is warranted in order to clarify the mechanisms, clinical implications, and potential reversibility of compromised cardiovascular function, in persons with Parkinson disease.

Navarro-Zaragoza J, Cuenca-Bermejo L, Almela P, Laorden ML, Herrero MT. Could Small Heat Shock Protein HSP27 Be a First-Line Target for Preventing Protein Aggregation in Parkinson's Disease? Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:3038. [PMID: 33809767 PMCID: PMC8002365 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22063038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP27, are ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperones and are essential for cellular homeostasis. The major functions of HSP27 include chaperoning misfolded or unfolded polypeptides and protecting cells from toxic stress. Dysregulation of stress proteins is associated with many human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is characterized by the presence of aggregates of α-synuclein in the central and peripheral nervous system, which induces the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and in the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic dysfunction is an important non-motor phenotype of PD, which includes cardiovascular dysregulation, among others. Nowadays, the therapies for PD focus on dopamine (DA) replacement. However, certain non-motor symptoms with a great impact on quality of life do not respond to dopaminergic drugs; therefore, the development and testing of new treatments for non-motor symptoms of PD remain a priority. Since small HSP27 was shown to prevent α-synuclein aggregation and cytotoxicity, this protein might constitute a suitable target to prevent or delay the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD. In the first part of our review, we focus on the cardiovascular dysregulation observed in PD patients. In the second part, we present data on the possible role of HSP27 in preventing the accumulation of amyloid fibrils and aggregated forms of α-synuclein. We also include our own studies, highlighting the possible protective cardiac effects induced by L-DOPA treatment through the enhancement of HSP27 levels and activity.

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
Dementia is one of the most disabling non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Unlike in Alzheimer’s disease, the vascular pathology in PD is less documented. Due to the uncertain role of commonly investigated metabolic or vascular factors, e.g., hypertension or diabetes, other factors corresponding to PD dementia have been proposed. Associated dysautonomia and dopaminergic treatment seem to have an impact on diurnal blood pressure (BP) variability, which may presumably contribute to white matter hyperintensities (WMH) development and cognitive decline. We aim to review possible vascular and metabolic factors: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), as well as the dopaminergic treatment, in the etiopathogenesis of PD dementia. Additionally, we focus on the role of polymorphisms within the genes for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), apolipoprotein E (APOE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and for renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system components, and their contribution to cognitive decline in PD. Determining vascular risk factors and their contribution to the cognitive impairment in PD may result in screening, as well as preventive measures.

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
AIM To understand why autonomic failures, a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), occur earlier than typical motor disorders. METHODS Vagal application of DOPAL (3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde) to simulate PD-like autonomic dysfunction and understand the connection between PD and cardiovascular dysfunction. Molecular and morphological approaches were employed to test the time-dependent alternation of α-synuclein aggregation and the ultrastructure changes in the heart and nodose (NG)/nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). RESULTS Blood pressure (BP) and baroreflex sensitivity of DOPAL-treated rats were significantly reduced accompanied with a time-dependent change in orthostatic BP, consistent with altered echocardiography and cardiomyocyte mitochondrial ultrastructure. Notably, time-dependent and collaborated changes in Mon-/Tri-α-synuclein were paralleled with morphological alternation in the NG and NTS. CONCLUSION These all demonstrate that early autonomic dysfunction mediated by vagal application of DOPAL highly suggests the plausible etiology of PD initiated from peripheral, rather than central site. It will provide a scientific basis for the prevention and early diagnosis of PD.

Abstract
Background: The article is devoted to one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the world-Parkinson's disease (PD), the prevalence of which in Russia reaches 140-150 people per 100,000 people. The clinical and anamnestic profile of a patient with PD is presented, the prevalence of motor and non-motor symptoms is reflected, and a comparative characteristic of the neurological deficit in the Siberian population of patients with other cohorts of patients with Parkinson's disease in different countries and ethnic groups is presented. Methods: We studied 140 patients with Parkinson's disease. A comprehensive assessment of neurological status was performed using the "Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)." In addition, we used the Beck Depression and MoCA scale test. Assessment of the presence and severity of olfactory dysfunction was performed using the Sniffin Stick odor identification test. The stage of PD was evaluated according to the classification of M. M. Hoehn and M. D. Yahr. Results: The cohort of the study was dominated by overweight patients with a higher level of education, with concomitant arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, and dyslipidemia. The severity of motor and most non-motor symptoms directly correlates with the duration of PD and the stage of the disease. The predominant form of the disease was a mixed form, which was also noted in research cohorts in Canada and the UK. The Siberian cohort tends to be more prevalent in hyposmia, daytime sleepiness, orthostatic hypotension, and depressive and REM disorders. Conclusion: Our data show the importance of a comprehensive assessment of both motor and non-motor neurological deficits as well as the analysis of comorbid disorders and risk factors for the occurrence and progression of Parkinson's disease. They also show the prevalence of certain motor and non-motor symptoms in the Siberian cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disorders, such as orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension, are common in patients with neurodegenerative synucleinopathies such as Parkinson disease (PD), and may also occur in other conditions, such as peripheral neuropathies, that result in autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. Dysfunction and degeneration of the ANS are implicated in the development of orthostatic and postprandial hypotension and impaired thermoregulation. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) results from sympathetic failure and is a common autonomic disorder in PD. Supine hypertension may also occur as a result of both sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction in conjunction with nOH in the majority of patients with PD. Management of supine hypertension in the setting of nOH can be counterintuitive and challenging. Additionally, the presence of other noncardiovascular comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and peripheral edema, may further contribute to the burden of disease. ANS dysfunction thus presents major healthcare implications and challenges for neurology and cardiovascular practices, necessitating an integrated neurology and cardiology management approach.

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
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is among the most debilitating nonmotor features of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Patients with PD and nOH generate more hospitalizations, make more emergency room visits, create more telephone calls/mails to doctors, and have earlier mortality than those with PD but without nOH. Overall, the health-related cost in patients with PD and OH is 2.5-fold higher compared with patients with PD without OH. Hence, developing effective therapies for nOH should be a research priority. In the last few decades, improved understanding of the pathophysiology of nOH has led to the identification of therapeutic targets and the development and approval of two drugs, midodrine and droxidopa. More effective and safer therapies, however, are still needed, particularly agents that could selectively increase blood pressure only in the standing position because supine hypertension is the main limitation of available drugs. Here we review the design and conduct of nOH clinical trials in patients with PD and other synucleinopathies, summarize the results of the most recently completed and ongoing trials, and discuss challenges, bottlenecks, and potential remedies.

Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction is a characteristic feature in the synucleinopathies. Differences in cellular deposition and neuronal populations affected by α-synuclein aggregation influence the manifestations and severity of autonomic failure in the different synucleinopathy disorders. The Lewy body disorders (Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and pure autonomic failure) have predominantly peripheral involvement, whereas multiple system atrophy chiefly manifests as central autonomic failure. Clinical and laboratory features may be useful in distinguishing the different synucleinopathies based on the pattern and severity of autonomic failure. Treatment recommendations are aimed at the underlying pathophysiology and utilize non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic approaches. This review will focus on pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management recommendations for autonomic failure including neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, thermoregulatory dysfunction, genitourinary dysfunction, and gastrointestinal dysfunction in the synucleinopathies.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the wide clinical spectrum of features that can be seen in multiple system atrophy (MSA) with a focus on the premotor phase and the non-motor symptoms providing an up-to-date overview of the current understanding in this fast-growing field. First, we highlight the non-motor features at disease onset when MSA can be indistinguishable from pure autonomic failure or other chronic neurodegenerative conditions. We describe the progression of clinical features to aid the diagnosis of MSA early in the disease course. We go on to describe the levels of diagnostic certainty and we discuss MSA subtypes that do not fit into the current diagnostic criteria, highlighting the complexity of the disease as well as the need for revised diagnostic tools. Second, we describe the pathology, clinical description, and investigations of cardiovascular autonomic failure, urogenital and sexual dysfunction, orthostatic hypotension, and respiratory and REM-sleep behavior disorders, which may precede the motor presentation by months or years. Their presence at presentation, even in the absence of ataxia and parkinsonism, should be regarded as highly suggestive of the premotor phase of MSA. Finally, we discuss how the recognition of the broader spectrum of clinical features of MSA and especially the non-motor features at disease onset represent a window of opportunity for disease-modifying interventions.

Abstract
: Supine hypertension commonly occurs in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic failure. Supine hypertension promotes nocturnal sodium excretion and orthostatic hypotension, thus, interfering with quality of life. Perusal of the literature on essential hypertension and smaller scale investigations in autonomic failure patients also suggest that supine hypertension may predispose to cardiovascular and renal disease. These reasons provide a rationale for treating supine hypertension. Yet, treatment of supine hypertension, be it through nonpharmacological or pharmacological approaches, may exacerbate orthostatic hypotension when patients get up during the night. Fall-related complications may occur. More research is needed to define the magnitude of the deleterious effects of supine hypertension on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal morbidity and mortality. Integration of more precise cardiovascular risk assessment, efficacy, and safety data, and the prognosis of the underlying condition causing autonomic failure is required for individualized management recommendations.

Abstract
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), a drop in blood pressure upon standing resulting from autonomic malfunction, may cause debilitating symptoms that can affect independence in daily activities and quality-of-life. nOH may also be associated with cardiovascular comorbidities (e.g., supine hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, and arrhythmias), making treatment decisions complicated and requiring management that should be based on a patient's cardiovascular profile. Additionally, drugs used to treat the cardiovascular disorders (e.g., vasodilators, β-blockers) can exacerbate nOH and concomitant symptoms. When orthostatic symptoms are severe and not effectively managed with nonpharmacologic strategies (e.g., water ingestion, abdominal compression), droxidopa or midodrine may be effective. Droxidopa may be less likely than midodrine to exacerbate supine hypertension, based on conclusions of a limited meta-analysis. In conclusion, treating nOH in patients with cardiovascular conditions requires a balance between symptom relief and minimizing adverse outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are sporadic neurodegenerative diseases characterized by an accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein. Cardiovascular autonomic failure develops in both MSA and PD, although studies indicate different sites of autonomic nervous system lesion. However, it is unclear whether this could potentially aid the differential diagnosis of these diseases. Here we determined whether cardiovascular autonomic function testing (CAFT) can discriminate between the parkinsonian variant of MSA (MSA-P) and PD based on either an expert-based blinded evaluation or a systematic comparison of cardiovascular autonomic function indices. METHODS We included 22 patients aged 55-80 with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) who had been diagnosed with either clinically probable MSA-P (n = 11) according to current consensus criteria or clinically definite PD (n = 11) according to the Queen Square criteria. Three physicians with expertise in CAFT were blinded to the neurological diagnosis and were asked to identify the correct neurological diagnosis by applying a self-created evaluation scheme to the CAFT recordings. Afterwards, a systematic comparison of clinical-demographic characteristics and CAFT parameters was carried out. RESULTS Neither the raters (overall diagnostic accuracy: 58.46%) nor the evaluation scheme created post hoc (72.73%) showed reliable discriminatory capacity. The inter-rater reliability was slight (κ = 0.01). We observed no statistically significant differences in cardiovascular autonomic indices between PD and MSA-P patients. CONCLUSION CAFT is the gold standard for assessing the presence and severity of cardiovascular autonomic failure, but the results of our pilot study suggest that CAFT might be of limited value in the differential diagnosis between MSA-P and PD once nOH is present.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with severe orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic failure may be hypertensive in the supine position. Until recently, there were no internationally recognized diagnostic criteria for supine hypertension. This review covers diagnostic criteria, mechanisms, and management of supine hypertension in autonomic failure patients. RECENT FINDINGS Recently, an international consensus group defined supine hypertension in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension as brachial SBP at least 140 mmHg and/or DBP at least 90 mmHg while supine. Using these criteria, a large proportion of patients with orthostatic hypotension is diagnosed with supine hypertension. Recent research supports the concept that the hypertension can be mediated through residual sympathetic nervous system function and independently from sympathetic activity, for example via mineralocorticoid receptor activation. SUMMARY The clear definition of supine hypertension is an important step that will hopefully foster clinical research in this area. Supine hypertension promotes renal sodium excretion, thus, worsening orthostatic hypotension the next morning. Supine hypertension may promote cardiovascular and renal disease. Yet, long-term benefits of treating supine hypertension be it through non pharmacological or pharmacological means have not been proven by sufficiently large clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction: Autonomic dysfunction is an integral part of Parkinson disease (PD) complex and can be seen both in early and advanced stages. There is a paucity of medicines available to manage autonomic dysfunction in PD and this adds to the considerable morbidity associated with the illness.Areas covered: The pathophysiology and the available therapeutic options of autonomic dysfunction seen in PD are discussed in detail. The potential targets for novel regimens are reviewed and the available literature on the drugs emerging in management of autonomic dysfunction in PD is highlighted.Expert opinion: In the current scenario, there are several drugs that can be tried for constipation viz stool laxatives, prucalopride, prokinetic agents and a high fiber diet. Bladder dysfunction has been treated with β-agonists and with mirabegron, a selective β-3 agonist, the anticholinergic side effects are minimized, and the drug has been found to be effective. Orthostatic hypotension is managed with midodrine while droxidopa is a new drug with promising efficacy. Botulinum toxin works best for management of sialorrhea, but repeated injections are needed.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with a 200 year-long research history. Our understanding about its clinical phenotype and pathogenesis remains limited, although dopaminergic replacement therapy has significantly improved patient outcomes. Autonomic dysfunction is an essential category of non-motor phenotypes that has recently become a cutting edge field that directs frontier research in PD. In this review, we initially describe the epidemiology of dysautonomic symptoms in PD. Then, we perform a meticulous analysis of the pathophysiology of autonomic dysfunction in PD and propose that the peripheral autonomic nervous system may be a key route for α-synuclein pathology propagation from the periphery to the central nervous system. In addition, we recommend that constipation, orthostatic hypotension, urinary dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and pure autonomic failure should be viewed as prodromal dysautonomic markers in PD prediction and diagnosis. Finally, we summarize the strategies currently available for the treatment of autonomic dysfunction in PD and suggest that high-quality, better-designed, randomized clinical trials should be conducted in the future.

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
The discovery of genetic links between alpha-synuclein and PD has opened unprecedented opportunities for research into a new group of diseases, now collectively known as synucleinopathies. Autonomic dysfunction, including cardiac sympathetic denervation, has been reported in familial forms of synucleinopathies that have Lewy bodies at the core of their pathogenesis. SNCA mutations and multiplications, LRRK2 disease with Lewy bodies as well as other common, sporadic forms of idiopathic PD, MSA, pure autonomic failure, and dementia with Lewy bodies have all been associated with dysautonomia. By contrast, in familial cases of parkinsonism without Lewy bodies, such as in PARK2, the autonomic profile remains normal throughout the course of the disease. The degeneration of the central and peripheral autonomic systems in genetic as well as sporadic forms of neurodegenerative synucleinopathies correlates with the accumulation of alpha-synuclein immunoreactive-containing inclusions. Given that dysautonomia has a significant impact on the quality of life of sufferers and autonomic symptoms are generally treatable, a prompt diagnostic testing and treatment should be provided. Moreover, new evidence suggests that autonomic dysfunction can be used as an outcome prediction factor in some forms of synucleinopathies or premotor diagnostic markers that could be used in the future to define further research avenues. In this review, we describe the autonomic dysfunction of genetic synucleinopathies in comparison to the dysautonomia of sporadic forms of alpha-synuclein accumulation and provide the reader with an up-to-date overview of the current understanding in this fast-growing field. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Sudden death as a result of multiple system atrophy (MSA) is usually attributed to vocal cord paralysis or disruption of breathing owing to the degeneration of the brainstem respiratory centers. However, the exact pathophysiology of sudden death is still unclear. In addition, specific causes of sudden death are not always investigated by an autopsy. We herein report a patient with MSA and non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhaging, which is believed to be a rare cause of death in this setting. Without an autopsy, our case would likely have been diagnosed as sudden death due to vocal cord paralysis. To develop effective strategies to prevent sudden death, a post-mortem investigation is important in order to exclude known structural causes of death.

Abstract
The α-synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of insoluble α-synuclein in neurons and glial cells, comprising Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Although varying in prevalence, symptom patterns, and severity among disorders, all α-synucleinopathies have in common autonomic nervous system dysfunctions, which reduce quality of life. Frequent symptoms among α-synucleinopathies include constipation, urinary and sexual dysfunction, and cardiovascular autonomic symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, and reduced heart rate variability. Symptoms due to autonomic dysfunction can appear before motor symptom onset, particularly in MSA and PD, hence, detection and quantitative analysis of these symptoms can enable early diagnosis and initiation of treatment, as well as identification of at-risk populations. While patients with PD, DLB, and MSA show both central and peripheral nervous system involvement of α-synuclein pathology, pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a condition characterized by generalized dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system with neuronal cytoplasmic α-synuclein inclusions in the peripheral autonomic small nerve fibers. Patients with PAF often present with orthostatic hypotension, reduced heart rate variability, anhydrosis, erectile dysfunction, and constipation, without motor or cognitive impairment. These patients also have an increased risk of developing an α-synucleinopathy with central involvement, such as PD, DLB, or MSA in later life, possibly indicating a pathophysiological disease continuum. Pathophysiological aspects, as well as developments in diagnosing and treating dysautonomic symptoms in patients with α-synucleinopathies are discussed in this review.
