Autonomic dysfunction and chronic disease

The majority of chronic diseases are accompanied by symptoms of more or less pronounced dysautonomia, which frequently andnoticeably deteriorate the quality of patients’life.

In this lectures students will be introduced to the autonomic dysfunction in chronic disease.

Dysautonomia symptoms are of a very discretenature and may develop much earlier than symptoms specific for a givenchronic disease, significantly influencing the treatment process itself. Growing points: ANS dysfunctions should be considered at each stage of thediagnostic and treatment processes, as a predictor for the patient’s clinicalcondition. Areas timely for developing research: Many researchers indicate that adecrease in dysautonomia intensity has a direct effect on the progress ofthe underlying disease and undoubtedly contributes to the improvement ofthe general health condition or to symptoms remission.

In this lecture students will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. They will learn about basic neuroanatomy and role of autonomic nervous system in pathophysiology of various chronic disesase. The course includes illustrated lecture presentation and quizzes to help students expand and test your knowledge of the nervous system. By the end of this course, students will have a better understanding of how the entire body influences, and is influenced, by the nervous system.

The majority of chronic diseases are accompanied by symptoms of more or less pronounced dysautonomia, which frequently and noticeably deteriorate the quality of patients’ life.

In this lectures students will be introduced to the autonomic dysfunction in chronic disease.

Dysautonomia symptoms are of a very discrete nature and may develop much earlier than symptoms specific for a given chronic disease, significantly influencing the treatment process itself. Growing points: ANS dysfunctions should be considered at each stage of the diagnostic and treatment processes, as a predictor for the patient’s clinical condition. Areas timely for developing research: Many researchers indicate that a decrease in dysautonomia intensity has a direct effect on the progress of the underlying disease and undoubtedly contributes to the improvement of the general health condition or to symptoms remission.
