Cerebral small vessel disease and autonomic dysfunction / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the main causes of cognitive impairment and decreased the quality of daily life in the elderly. Researches have shown that CSVD is closely associated with autonomic nervous function. Patients with CSVD may be accompanied by cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, urination, sleep disorders and other autonomic dysfunction.
