Article Synopsis
- The study investigated cardiovascular dysautonomia in Parkinson's disease patients who have no prior abnormal blood pressure history, focusing on 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring.
- Among the 101 participants, 25.74% experienced orthostatic hypotension, significantly linked with higher nighttime systolic blood pressure and more severe nonmotor symptoms, autonomic issues, and cognitive decline.
- Additionally, over half of the patients displayed a reverse dipping pattern in blood pressure, which proved useful for identifying those at risk for orthostatic hypotension.
