Morbidities in rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder
2013, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :This probably reflects underlying synucleinopathy, since autonomic dysfunction has been identified in PD, DLB and MSA. The cardiac autonomic dysfunction of iRBD is similar in nature to that found in established synucleinopathy [16,18,20,40,44–48]. Autonomic dysfunction was strongly linked to the presence of RBD in PD [16], suggesting again, that RBD may indicate a specific disease subtype.
Sleep dysfunction and role of dysautonomia in Parkinson's disease
2009, Parkinsonism and Related DisordersCitation Excerpt :The extent of decline was similar to that seen in PD patients [6]. Autonomic dysfunction was universally found in RBD, and it has been proposed that it is an important part of RBD pathology, i.e., some autonomic dysfunction is required to express the clinical phenotype of RBD [6]. Sleep apnoea can result in sleep disordered breathing.
