Abstract:
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common type of neurodegenerative dementia. Autonomic dysfunction is a relatively common clinical manifestation in DLB patients, affecting various systems such as the cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, and sweating systems. Autonomic symptoms can have profound impact on the patients′ quality of life and can lead to complications affecting their life expectancy. This review summarizes the pathology, symptoms, examination and treatment of autonomic dysfunction in DLB to provide reference for clinicians.
