Clinical Assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System

This book describes newly developed methods of assessing the autonomic nervous system. Up-to-date information on microneurographic analysis of human cardiovascular and thermoregulatory function in humans, heart rate variability, and131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy are provided.
