JS Kim, HE Park, YS Oh, SH Lee, JW Park… - Journal of the …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavioral disorder (RBD), orthostatic
hypotension (OH), and cardiac sympathetic denervation were commonly observed in PD
and are related in both the premotor and motor periods. This study is intended to evaluate if
the OH and cardiac sympathetic denervation found in PD are associated with RBD. Methods
Among 94 non-medicated and mild PD patients, 53 had RBD. Orthostatic vital signs and
ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure values were recorded. 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine …
