The objective of this study was to detect regional patterns of cardiac sympathetic
denervation in idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) using 11C-hydroxyephedrine (11C-HED) …

Purpose To determine whether cardiac sympathetic denervation in idiopathic Parkinson
disease (IPD) affects the left ventricle in a distinct regional pattern versus a more global …

Purpose Cardiac sympathetic nervous system (SNS) dysfunction is associated with poor
prognosis in chronic heart failure patients. This study characterized the reproducibility and …

Scintigraphic imaging with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) has demonstrated
extensive losses of cardiac sympathetic neurons in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). In …

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) can be present in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) as well
as in atypical parkinsonian syndromes such as multiple system atrophy (MSA). According to …

The uptake of 6-18F-fluorodopamine by cardiac noradrenergic nerves enables visualization
of the sympathetic innervation of the left ventricular myocardium by PET. Patients with …

Aim The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between myocardial
sympathetic degeneration and nigrostriatal impairment in patients affected by Parkinson's …

Background Regional cardiac sympathetic denervation is predictive of sudden cardiac arrest
in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The reproducibility of denervation scores between …

Background Dysfunction and denervation of myocardial nor-adrenergic sympathetic
neurons has been documented in IPD patients with dysautonomia. The aim of this study was …

This study addressed whether cardiac sympathetic denervation progresses over time in
Parkinson's disease. In 9 patients without orthostatic hypotension, 6‐[18F] fluorodopamine …
