Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this volume is a comprehensive, current reference on clinical autonomic disorders. The book covers the entire spectrum of autonomic neuropathies and other human autonomic disorders, with emphasis on clinical laboratory evaluation and management. This new edition is more systematically organized than the previous one, beginning with a chapter on classification of autonomic disorders and clinical evaluation of the patient. The section on evaluation of autonomic function features two new chapters, on time-frequency analysis of cardiovascular function and on continuous recordings of cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler. Coverage of clinical syndromes includes new chapters on autonomic disorders associated with spinal cord injury and on autonomic function under conditions of reduced gravity. Other highlights of this edition include an extensively revised chapter on multiple system atrophy and pure autonomic failure, with a greatly expanded bibliography
