This course will focus primarily on the three autonomic function tests that have CPT codes.  The program will begin with lectures on the underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing and then address factors that affect the results of these autonomic tests.  The heart of the workshop will be hands-on demonstrations of specific autonomic function tests, including quantitative sudomotor axon reflect test (QSART), tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver), and tests of adrenergic function.

There is also content on the interpretation of common and uncommon autonomic tests and lectures on a number of dysautonomias (POTS, syncope, and autoimmune neuropathy) for which new information is available or disorders where the autonomic laboratory is central to the evaluation.

This course is designed for individuals interested in the performance of non-invasive clinical autonomic tests, who are primarily neurologists, autonomic laboratory personnel, autonomic clinicians and clinical neurophysiologists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Recognize the underlying basis for the evaluation of autonomic function.

Utilize autonomic testing in patients with autonomic disorders.

Develop a plan for autonomic testing of patients with autonomic disorders.

Assess commercially available autonomic equipment.

Select new autonomic function tests using underlying autonomic principles.
