Presents the concepts underlying the measurement of parasympathetic and sympathetic activity in the autonomic nervous system and the application of these measurements in the development of therapeutic guidelines for treating dysfunctions in these processes
Focuses on the pathophysiology of parasympathetic and sympathetic dysfunction for specific disorders, expected test results, possible therapy options to clinically treat the specific dysfunction, and expected outcomes
Includes case studies for select common diseases for which parasympathetic and sympathetic monitoring is recommended and self-assessment questions
