Thoroughly updated for its Third Edition, this text will be the definitive reference on autonomic nervous system disorders, for practicing and academic neurologists and clinicians in such areas as cardiology and gastroenterology where autonomic disorders are prevalent. The book focuses on patient care and provides the sophisticated laboratory testing information necessary for clinical diagnosis and management.

This edition has a new co-editor, Eduardo E. Benarroch, MD, who provides more detailed information on the role of the central nervous system in autonomic disorders. The book incorporates the latest advances in noninvasive laboratory testing to evaluate abnormalities in the control of blood pressure, heart rate, urination, digestion, sexual function, and sweating.

Phillip Low, director of one of the best-known laboratories of autonomic function in the world (Mayo), proposes a third edition of this definitive book on clinical autonomic disorders. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a regulatory structure that helps people adapt to changes in their environment. It adjusts or modifies some functions in response to stress and regulates blood vessels' size and blood pressure, the movement and work of the stomach, intestine and salivary glands; and the secretion of insulin and the urinary and sexual functions. Because of an increasing number of autonomic labs, user-friendly software and reasonable reimbursement, the author believes that an updated text is necessary.To 'beef up' the CNS (the brain & spinal cord) portion of the book, Low has chosen another expert as co-author: Eduardo Benarroch, also from Mayo. The book will serve as the definitive resource for both practicing and academic neurologists (as well as clinicians in such areas as cardiology and GI, where autonomic disorders are more prevalent). The authors will focus on patient care and provide just enough sophisticated scientific lab material to allow for clinical diagnosis and management.
