Description
This book expertly integrates basic information on central organisation of autonomic control with clinical correlations. Current concepts of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology of central autonomic control are clearly explained and given a much-needed clinical context through clinical pathological correlation, as well as exaples of MRIs illustrating specific lesions. The various autonomic testing techniques, their clinical application, and consequent diagnosis and treatment are also extensively discussed. Readers will be greatly aided in understanding the pathophysiologic basis and rationale for treatment of such diverse disorders as autonomic failure, autonomic hyperactivity, epilepsy- and stress-related arrhythmias and sudden death, hypertension, panic disorder, gastrointestinal tract dysmotility, and urinary incontinence. As such, this reference should be of practical benefit to neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, basic researchers and physical therapists.
