Several studies have reported that olfactory dysfunction is an early neuropathological manifestation of Parkinson’s disease
(PD). Reduced cardiac meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake may be one of the earliest signs of PD. We studied the relation of olfactory dysfunction to cardiovascular
dysautonomia in patients with PD. The study group comprised 66 patients with PD (70.5 years) and 26 controls (70.3 years)
for olfactory assessment, 21 controls (72.1 years) for cardiac 123I-MIBG scintigraphy and heart rate variability (HRV), assessed using the coefficient of variation for RR intervals (HRV),
and 23 controls (69.2 years) for orthostatic blood pressure response. Olfactory function was assessed by the odor stick identification
test Japan (OSIT-J), and cardiovascular autonomic function was evaluated by 123I-MIBG scintigraphy of the heart, the fall in orthostatic blood pressure, and HRV. Patients with PD had a significantly lower
OSIT-J score than did the controls (4.1 ± 3.0 vs. 9.9 ± 1.7, p = 0.001). The OSIT-J score was unrelated to variables other than gender, including age, disease duration, motor score on
the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale, score on the mini-mental state examination, motor phenotype, visual hallucinations,
and dopaminergic medication on multiple regression and logistic regression analyses. The OSIT-J score was related to the heart/mediastinum
ratio of cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake, the fall in orthostatic blood pressure, and HRV, after adjustment for other clinical variables. Olfactory dysfunction
in PD was, thus, significantly related to both cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction, as well as vascular sympathetic
dysfunction. As non-motor symptoms of PD, olfactory dysfunction and autonomic network failure appear to be closely related
in PD. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to systematically investigate cardiac and peripheral vasomotor autonomic functions in late-onset transthyretin Val30Met familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP ATTR Val30Met) patients from non-endemic areas. The coefficient of variation of R–R intervals (CVR-R), responses to the Valsalva manoeuvre, head-up tilt test with impedance cardiography, noradrenaline infusion test, and (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy were assessed in eight patients. Although only four patients manifested orthostatic hypotension during the head-up tilt test, CVR-R, responses to the Valsalva manoeuvre, and myocardial MIBG uptake indicated a higher prevalence of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction. Total peripheral resistance at 60° tilt did not increase from baseline values in five of six examined patients. An infusion of low-dose noradrenaline induced an increase in systolic blood pressure in all patients. The extent of the change in systolic blood pressure negatively correlated to that in total peripheral resistance (p < 0.05). Patients with poor vasoconstrictor responses to orthostatic stress tended to exhibit severe reduction of unmyelinated fibres in sural nerve biopsy specimens. In conclusion, both cardiac and peripheral vasomotor autonomic dysfunctions were prevalent in late-onset FAP ATTR Val30Met patients from non-endemic areas, even in those without orthostatic intolerance. However, vasoconstriction by alpha-adrenoceptor agonists was preserved even after denervation, carrying important implications for the management of orthostatic hypotension in FAP. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Iodine-123-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy has been used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic denervation in Lewy body disease (LBD) including Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Patients with LBD had marked reductions in cardiac MIBG accumulation, indicative of severe impairment of the cardiac sympathetic nervous systems. However, the differences in scintigraphy between DLB and PD have not been determined. OBJECTIVE: To compare cardiac sympathetic function in early disease stage measured with 123I-MIBG scintigraphy between DLB and PD. METHODS: 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy was performed in 22 patients with early-stage DLB, 41 patients with early idiopathic PD and 15 normal control subjects who were matched for age and disease duration. The heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio was calculated. RESULTS: 123I-MIBG uptake of the myocardium was significantly lower in patients with early DLB than in controls. The mean value of H/M ratio in patients with DLB was significantly lower than those in patients with PD, independent of the Hoehn and Yahr stage. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that cardiac sympathetic function in DLB is severely impaired even in the early disease stage. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Postganglionic cardiac sympathetic denervation is evident in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) cardiac scintigraphy has proven to be a useful tool for diagnosis of PD. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the factors associated with severity of cardiac sympathetic nerve dysfunction in PD patients. METHODS: We investigated 95 PD patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology at Tottori University Hospital. (123)I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy was performed on each patient and the early and delayed heart to mediastinum (H/M) ratios and washout rate (WR) of (123)I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy were calculated. Independent predictive variables for parameters of (123)I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy were analyzed by multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the presence of visual hallucinations (VH) and the patient's age at the time of evaluation independently predicted the early or delayed H/M ratio. Analysis of covariance, adjusted for the age of the patients as covariates, revealed that the early and delayed H/M ratios of PD patients with VH but no dementia, as well as PD patients with dementia were significantly lower than the ratios in PD patients with no VH or dementia. CONCLUSION: Cardiac sympathetic dysfunction may be associated with the presence of VH in PD patients. 相似文献

It remains unclear whether cardiac iodine-123-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake is clinically related to autonomic dysfunction on conventional autonomic function testing in de novo Parkinson’s
disease (PD). We therefore studied the relation between cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with de novo PD. The subjects were 26 patients with de
novo PD. The ratio of the average pixel count in the heart to that in the mediastinum was calculated to derive the cardiac
123I-MIBG uptake. Cardiovascular autonomic function was evaluated on the basis of cardiovascular autonomic response on the Valsalva
maneuver (VM), and systolic blood pressure response (SBP) on head-up tilt-table testing (HUT). Patients with de novo PD had
significantly reduced cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake as compared with controls (1.58 ± 0.43 vs. 2.25 ± 0.34, p = 0.0001) and cardiovascular autonomic response on the VM. No significant difference in the fall in SBP on HUT was found
between patients with de novo PD and the controls. Cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake in de novo PD was not significantly related to vasomotor sympathetic function, baroreceptor reflex gain, cardiac
parasympathetic function, or the changes in SBP on HUT. Cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake was, however, significantly related to the blood pressure overshoot in phase IV of the VM (r = 0.648, p = 0.0003). Cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake began to decrease in association with the reduction in the overshoot of phase IV on the VM. Cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake clinically reflects cardiac sympathetic dysfunction in de novo PD. 相似文献

Cardiac parasympathetic function is strongly affected by aging. Although sympathetic dysfunction has been well documented in Parkinson’s disease (PD), cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction has not been well studied. The objective of this study was to clarify the development of cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction in the early phase of PD and to explore the age-corrected correlation between cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction and cardiac sympathetic dysfunction. We reviewed 25 healthy controls and 56 patients with idiopathic PD of Hoehn and Yahr stages I–III. We evaluated cardiac parasympathetic function using the Valsalva ratio, the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and the coefficient of variation of RR intervals in the resting state (resting-CVRR) and during deep breathing (DB-CVRR). In addition, we measured cardiac 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake to investigate the relationship between cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction in PD. Compared with healthy controls, patients with PD showed significantly decreased cardiac parasympathetic parameters (resting-CVRR 2.8 ± 1.3 vs. 1.7 ± 0.6%, p < 0.001; DB-CVRR 5.8 ± 2.3 vs. 3.8 ± 1.7%, p < 0.001; Valsalva ratio 1.52 ± 0.26 vs. 1.34 ± 0.17, p < 0.01; BRS 10.6 ± 9.5 vs. 5.0 ± 5.4 ms/mmHg, p < 0.01). In particular, resting-CVRR and DB-CVRR were significantly decreased in the early phase of PD. In age-corrected analyses, none of the parasympathetic indices correlated with the delayed cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake. These observations indicate that cardiac parasympathetic dysfunction occurs in the early phase of PD, but not necessarily in parallel with cardiac sympathetic dysfunction. 相似文献

We investigated the correlation between results of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy and those of cardiovascular autonomic function tests in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy and a 5-minute standing test were performed in 50 patients with PD and in 19 control subjects. The value of the basal plasma noradrenaline (NA) level was used as an index of basal sympathetic nerve activity, and %NA was used to assess the response of sympathetic nerve activity. In addition, the parameters of DeltaBP and DeltaHR were evaluated to assess the autonomic response of the cardiovascular system. A mild, but significant correlation was observed between the myocardium to mediastinum (H/M) ratio and the values of the plasma NA baseline (r = 0.35, p < 0.05 in early image, r = 0.29, p < 0.05 in delay image). No significant correlation was observed between the H/M ratio and the other parameters (%NA, DeltaBP, DeltaHR). These results suggest that 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy may be associated with the basal sympathetic nerve activity, but not with autonomic nervous response of the cardiovascular system in patients with PD. 相似文献

PurposeCardiac sympathetic denervation is associated with orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the physiological role of cardiac sympathetic nerves has yet to be elucidated. To clarify the role of the heart in orthostatic stress, we evaluated whether cardiac sympathetic nerves can alter cardiac activity and systolic blood pressure (BP) in association with elevations or depressions of total peripheral resistance during the head-up tilt test.MethodsNinety-five PD patients and 17 normal controls were enrolled. Using impedance cardiography, we measured total peripheral resistance, stroke volume, heart rate, and systolic BP during the head-up tilt test. Cardiac denervation was defined as a heart-to-mediastinum ratio <1.7 for cardiac 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake on delayed images.ResultsAt 60° tilt, total peripheral resistance decreased from the initial value in 49 PD patients. Among these, 36 patients exhibited cardiac denervation with severe reductions in systolic BP but little change in stroke volume; among these patients 22 had OH. The remaining 13 patients without cardiac denervation exhibited significant increases in stroke volume and well-preserved systolic BP with no OH. On the other hand, 46 patients had elevations in total peripheral resistance and reduced stroke volume, but little change in systolic BP, regardless of the presence or absence of cardiac denervation. Only one of these patients experienced OH.ConclusionUnder orthostatic stress, cardiac sympathetic denervation with failure to increase total peripheral resistance leads to large reductions in systolic BP. However, patients without cardiac denervation exhibited a positive inotropic response against vasodilatation, which may prevent OH. 相似文献

Increasing clinical attention has been focused on cardiac sympathetic denervation for the differential diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) with the development of [123I] metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. Decreased MIBG uptake, which reflects cardiac sympathetic denervation, has been detected in DLB, but not in AD. However, the time course of detected cardiac sympathetic degeneration is poorly understood in DLB. Herein, the authors report two patients with a clinical diagnosis of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who had cardiac sympathetic denervation, detected by cardiac (123)I-MIBG scintigraphy, without the core clinical features of DLB. One amnestic MCI patient had nocturnal dream enactment behavior, consistent with clinically probable REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), and converted to probable DLB with the development of recurrent visual hallucination and spontaneous parkinsonism two years after MCI is diagnosed. The other amnestic MCI patient exhibited occipital metabolic reduction on [18F]-fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan, which is the preferentially affected region in DLB patients, although she had no core or suggestive clinical features of DLB. Both patients had abnormal findings on electrocardiogram at annual health checkups despite having no cardiac-related symptoms. Detailed clinical examinations, including angiography and echocardiogram, revealed no overt etiology, supporting the idea that cardiac sympathetic denervation is due to underlying Lewy body disease. The clinical courses of these patients suggest that (123)I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy is useful for the detection of DLB in the predementia phase, even before core clinical features appear. 相似文献

Dobutamine stress test unmasks cardiac sympathetic denervation in Parkinson's disease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

OBJECTIVE: Cardiac uptake of [(123)I]metaiodobenzyl guanidine (MIBG) is reduced in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the cardiac sympathetic abnormality associated with this reduction is unclear. To unmask this abnormality in PD patients we examined the functional consequences of cardiac beta-receptor activation. METHODS: Cardiovascular responses to stepwise administration of the beta1-receptor agonist, dobutamine (DOB), were assessed in 25 PD patients and 12 age-matched controls. Changes in blood pressure were compared to determine the optimal dose at which to detect denervation supersensitivity, and cardiac contractility was measured by DOB echocardiography, based on peak aortic flow velocity. The relations of these cardiovascular responses to the ratio of MIBG uptake into the heart vs. that into the mediastinum (H/M ratio) were analyzed. RESULTS: At 4 microg/kg/min DOB, systolic blood pressure increased more in PD patients than in controls (PD, 17.5+/-12.3 mm Hg; control, 7.2+/-6.2 mm Hg, p<0.01), suggesting the presence of denervation supersensitivity. At this DOB dose cardiac contractility also increased more in PD than in controls (PD, 39.0+/-15.7%; control, 23.5+/-5.2%, p<0.005) and this hyperdynamic response was significantly correlated with reduced H/M ratios (early: r=-0.63, p<0.01, delayed: r=-0.66, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Low-dose DOB unmasks cardiac sympathetic denervation in PD patients, and decreased MIBG uptake indicates the presence of denervation supersensitivity within the heart, resulting in hyperdynamic cardiac contractility in response to a beta 1-stress condition. 相似文献

Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) have impaired sympathetically mediated neurocirculatory innervation. Here we analyzed the correlation between cardiac (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake, orthostatic hypotension and heart rate variability in treated patients with PD. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) as a hallmark of sympathetic neurocirculatory failure was found with a high prevalence in PD. PD is known to affect cardiac innervation, resulting in a suppressed heart rate variability and a postganglionic noradrenergic lesion. We measured continuous arterial blood pressure in rest and 70 degrees head-up tilt for at least 20 min, heart rate variability in the supine position, standing, deep respiration and Valsalva manoeuvre in 58 patients with PD (27 male, 31 female; mean age 71 years, mean PD duration 5.1 years, Hoehn and Yahr 3.1+/-0.8). Sympathovagal balance was estimated by the low-frequency (LF: 0.04-0.15Hz) and high-frequency bands (HF: 0.15-0.4Hz) ratio in the analysis of heart rate variability in each condition. Myocardial adrenergic function was analyzed by imaging MIBG using the single-photon emission computed tomography technique. MIBG uptake expressed as heart-to-mediastinum ratio was reduced in all PD patients (H/M-ratio: 1.14+/-0.16). We found no correlation between myocardial MIBG uptake and sympathovagal balance, blood pressure or other autonomic findings. The LF/HF ratio in tilt-table testing was significantly more reduced in PD with OH than without OH (2.18 vs. 1.49, p=0.022). MIBG uptake did not differ. It is concluded that scintigraphy with MIBG appears to be a highly sensitive and useful tool to demonstrate sympathetic postganglionic cardiac nerve disturbances. Loss of sympathetic innervation of the heart seems to occur early and independent of orthostatic hypotension, baroreflex failure and impaired heart rate variability in PD. 相似文献

Attention has been drawn to cardiac sympathetic denervation in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on clinical studies using [123I] metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy; however, the histologic correlates and time course of cardiac sympathetic denervation are poorly understood. To address these issues, we used tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry to detect cardiac sympathetic nerve fibers in the epicardium of 4 normal controls, 11 cases with incidental Lewy bodies (iLBs), and 14 cases of PD. Cardiac sympathetic innervation was significantly less in PD than in normal controls and cases with iLBs (P < 0.05). There was also a decrease in TH‐immunoreactive fibers in iLB cases compared to normal controls (P < 0.01). TH‐immunoreactive fibers correlated with the PD stage (r = ?0.75, P < 0.001), as well as with Hoehn & Yahr clinical stage (r = ?0.61, P < 0.001), and disease duration (r = ?0.63, P < 0.001). Immunohistochemistry for α‐synuclein showed neurites in epicardium in PD and iLB cases, but not in normal controls. The density of α‐synuclein neurites correlated with Braak PD stage (r = 0.38, P < 0.05), Hoehn & Yahr clinical stage (r = 0.44, P < 0.05), and disease duration (r = 0.42, P < 0.05). This study demonstrates that cardiac sympathetic degeneration and α‐synuclein pathology is present in presymptomatic phase of PD, and that both increase with disease duration and severity. © 2008 Movement Disorder Society. 相似文献

The aim of this short review is to illustrate, using orthostatic hypotension as an example, the clinical problems related to autonomic features in Parkinson's disease. Orthostatic hypotension is frequently encountered in Parkinson's disease and its diagnosis remains manometric (a fall of at least 20 and/or 10 mmHg in standing blood pressure). It is often associated with supine hypertension to be taken into account before prescribing. To distinguish between the role of disease and of drugs (not only antiparkinsonian drugs), a simple clinical test of autonomic nervous system activity (deep breathing test and standing test with measurement of 30/15 ratio) can be used. When diagnosis with multisystem atrophy is discussed, cardiac [123I]-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy is of value showing in Parkinson's disease a decreased uptake of the radiopharmaceutical indicating postganglionic sympathetic denervation. Concerning treatment, nonpharmacological methods have to be systematically used since no drug has been specifically evaluated for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension of Parkinson's disease. 相似文献

We assessed the relations of visual hallucinations (VH) to cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The subjects were 37 patients without VH (VH(-)) and 31 with VH (VH(+)). Autonomic function was evaluated on the basis of cardiac 123-radioiodinated metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake and hemodynamic testing with Valsalva maneuver. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and plasma norepinephrine concentrations (NE) were measured by tilt-table testing. 123I-MIBG uptake was lower in VH(+) than VH(-). Hemodynamic studies showed that VH(-) had only cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic dysfunction, while VH(+) additionally had reduced vasomotor sympathetic functions. The fall in SBP during tilt-table testing was greater in VH(+) than VH(-). NE and its difference in the supine and upright positions were decreased in VH(+). We conclude that cardiac and vasomotor sympathetic dysfunction is more severe in VH(+) than in VH(-). Severe dysfunction in PD with VH is probably attributed to Lewy-body lesions or neuronal loss in sympathetic ganglia, the central autonomic system, or both. 相似文献

In some cases, it is difficult to differentiate essential tremor (ET) from Parkinson's disease (PD), especially in the early stages of the disease. We investigated cardiac sympathetic dysfunction using (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy in 22 patients with ET, in comparison with early PD and tremor-dominant PD (TDPD). The mean ratio of (123)I-MIBG uptake in the region of interest in the heart to that in the mediastinum (H/M ratio) was significantly greater in patients with ET (1.99 +/- 0.21) than in those with either TDPD (1.28 +/- 0.11) or early PD (1.28 +/- 0.17; each P < 0.001). The H/M ratio in all patients with ET was greater than two standard deviations above the range of the ratio in the patients with early PD or TDPD. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We estimated the extent and pattern of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) as compared with that in Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: We performed meta-iodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) scintigraphy of the heart and hemodynamic autonomic function testing using the Valsalva maneuver in 27 patients with DLB, 46 with PD, and 20 controls. RESULTS: (123)I-MIBG uptakes in DLB were reduced as compared with those in control and PD. Hemodynamic studies revealed that DLB had decreased baroreceptor reflex and reduced responses of SBP in phases II and IV as compared with PD and control. SBP responses on standing and the difference in plasma norepinephrine (NE) concentrations between supine and standing positions were reduced in PD as compared with those in control. Furthermore, SBP responses on standing, plasma NE concentrations in supine and standing positions, and the difference in plasma NE concentrations between these positions were significantly lower in DLB than in PD and control. Plasma NE concentrations in DLB with orthostatic hypotension (OH) were lower than that in DLB without OH, although some patients who had DLB with orthostatic hypotension had relatively normal plasma NE levels. CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is more severe in DLB than in PD and is usually caused by the loss of postganglionic sympathetic nervous function, although dysautonomia in some patients with DLB may result from preganglionic dysfunction. 相似文献

Orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and significantly impair quality of life. Orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment appear to be interrelated. Whether the relationship is causative or associative remains unclear. The vascular hypothesis proposes that recurrent episodic hypotension results in cerebral hypoperfusion, in turn causing anoxic damage to vulnerable areas of the brain and impaired cognitive function. Support for this hypothesis has come from brain MRI studies showing an association between white matter hyperintensities and a postural drop in blood pressure among PD patients. Alternatively, the association between orthostatic hypotension and cognitive decline in PD may reflect shared underlying synuclein‐related pathology affecting common neuroanatomical and neurochemical substrates. Cardiac imaging studies demonstrate noradrenergic denervation early in PD, and cardiac denervation has been associated with poorer cognition. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension occurs as a result of defective norepinephrine release from sympathetic terminals upon standing. Neuropathological studies have also demonstrated Lewy body pathology in the locus coeruleus; the main source of noradrenaline in the brain. Locus coeruleus norepinephrine levels are reduced in PD patients with dementia when compared with PD patients without. In this review, we examine the evidence for an association between orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment in PD. We evaluate the literature supporting the hypothesis that progressive noradrenergic denervation underlies both orthostatic hypotension and cognitive impairment, and we examine studies suggesting that recurrent cerebral hypoperfusion results in cognitive decline in PD. Finally, we explore how modulation of blood pressure and the noradrenergic nervous system may improve cognition in PD. © 2016 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society 相似文献

A decrease in myocardial uptake of iodine-123-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) has been reported in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) using 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy. However, the patient with autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP), caused by the parkin gene, presented here showed normal 123I-MIBG myocardial uptake, suggesting that AR-JP is a distinct disease entity from PD. Although the clinical features of AR-JP are sometimes quite similar to those of late-onset idiopathic PD, 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy may be a powerful tool to differentiate PD from other parkinsonian syndromes, including AR-JP. 相似文献

Signs or symptoms of impaired autonomic regulation of circulation often attend Parkinson disease (PD). This review covers biomarkers and mechanisms of autonomic cardiovascular abnormalities in PD and related alpha-synucleinopathies. The clearest clinical laboratory correlate of dysautonomia in PD is loss of myocardial noradrenergic innervation, detected by cardiac sympathetic neuroimaging. About 30-40% of PD patients have orthostatic hypotension (OH), defined as a persistent, consistent fall in systolic blood pressure of at least 20 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of at least 10 mmHg within 3 min of change in position from supine to standing. Neuroimaging evidence of cardiac sympathetic denervation is universal in PD with OH (PD+OH). In PD without OH about half the patients have diffuse left ventricular myocardial sympathetic denervation, a substantial minority have partial denervation confined to the inferolateral or apical walls, and a small number have normal innervation. Among patients with partial denervation the neuronal loss invariably progresses over time, and in those with normal innervation at least some loss eventually becomes evident. Thus, cardiac sympathetic denervation in PD occurs independently of the movement disorder. PD+OH also entails extra-cardiac noradrenergic denervation, but this is not as severe as in pure autonomic failure. PD+OH patients have failure of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic components of the arterial baroreflex. OH in PD therefore seems to reflect a "triple whammy" of cardiac and extra-cardiac noradrenergic denervation and baroreflex failure. In contrast, most patients with multiple system atrophy, which can resemble PD+OH clinically, do not have evidence for cardiac or extra-cardiac noradrenergic denervation. Catecholamines in the neuronal cytoplasm are potentially toxic, via spontaneous and enzyme-catalyzed oxidation. Normally cytoplasmic catecholamines are efficiently taken up into vesicles via the vesicular monoamine transporter. The recent finding of decreased vesicular uptake in Lewy body diseases therefore suggests a pathogenetic mechanism for loss of catecholaminergic neurons in the periphery and brain. Parkinson disease (PD) is one of the most common chronic neurodegenerative diseases of the elderly, and it is likely that as populations age PD will become even more prevalent and more of a public health burden. Severe depletion of dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal system characterizes and likely produces the movement disorder (rest tremor, slowness of movement, rigid muscle tone, and postural instability) in PD. Over the past two decades, compelling evidence has accrued that PD also involves loss of noradrenergic neurons in the heart. This finding supports the view that loss of catecholaminergic neurons, both in the nigrostriatal system and the heart, is fundamental in PD. By the time PD manifests clinically, most of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons are already lost. Identifying laboratory measures-biomarkers-of the disease process is therefore crucial for advances in treatment and prevention. Deposition of the protein, alpha-synuclein, in the form of Lewy bodies in catecholaminergic neurons is a pathologic hallmark of PD. Alpha-synucleinopathy in autonomic neurons may occur early in the pathogenetic process. The timing of cardiac noradrenergic denervation in PD is therefore a key issue. This review updates the field of autonomic cardiovascular abnormalities in PD and related disorders, with emphasis on relationships among striatal dopamine depletion, sympathetic noradrenergic denervation, and alpha-synucleinopathy. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients with PD often have signs or symptoms of autonomic failure, including orthostatic hypotension. Cardiac sympathetic denervation occurs frequently in PD, but this has been thought to occur independently of autonomic failure. METHODS: Forty-one patients with PD (18 with and 23 without orthostatic hypotension) and 16 age-matched healthy volunteers underwent PET scanning to visualize sympathetic innervation after injection of 6-[(18)F]fluorodopamine. Beat-to-beat blood pressure responses to the Valsalva maneuver were used to identify sympathetic neurocirculatory failure and plasma norepinephrine to indicate overall sympathetic innervation. RESULTS: All patients with PD and orthostatic hypotension had abnormal blood pressure responses to the Valsalva maneuver and septal and lateral ventricular myocardial concentrations of 6-[(18)F]fluorodopamine-derived radioactivity >2 SD below the normal mean. In contrast, only 6 of the 23 patients without orthostatic hypotension had abnormal Valsalva responses (p < 0.0001 compared with patients with orthostatic hypotension), and only 11 had diffusely decreased 6-[(18)F]fluorodopamine-derived radioactivity in the left ventricular myocardium (p = 0.0004). Of the 12 remaining patients without orthostatic hypotension, 7 had locally decreased myocardial radioactivity. Supine plasma norepinephrine was lower in patients with than in those without orthostatic hypotension (1.40 +/- 0.15 vs 2.32 +/- 0.26 nmol/L, p = 0.005). 6-[(18)F]fluorodopamine-derived radioactivity was less not only in the myocardium but also in the thyroid and renal cortex of patients with PD than in healthy control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: In PD, orthostatic hypotension reflects sympathetic neurocirculatory failure from generalized sympathetic denervation. 相似文献
