Prodromal autonomic dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of prodromal autonomic dysfunction in Lewy body diseases with expert insights.
Prodromal autonomic dysfunction has emerged as an important area of research in understanding Lewy body diseases, including Parkinson's disease, and dementia with Lewy bodies. Dr. Michelle Matarazzo sits down with three experts in the field, Dr. Abhimanyu Mahajan, Dr. Alison Yarnall, and Dr. David Goldstein to discuss the current evidence behind various disturbances and how they may precede classic motor and cognitive symptoms, such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, and thermoregulatory disturbances. Together they discuss how these early non-motor manifestations may be considered integral features of the disease process. Read the related Scientific Issue Discussion on this topic.
