Autonomic Dysfunction and Dysautonomia : Volume I Foundations of Autonomic Regulation and Physiologic Failure
Overview
The autonomic nervous system rarely fails in one place.
When its regulatory networks become unstable, the consequences can appear across the cardiovascular system, brain, peripheral nerves, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, immune pathways, and thermoregulatory mechanisms-often producing symptoms that seem unrelated until the underlying physiology is understood.
Autonomic Dysfunction and Dysautonomia - Volume I: Foundations of Autonomic Regulation and Physiologic Failure provides a rigorous clinical foundation for understanding how autonomic regulation works, why it breaks down, and how physiologic failure produces the complex patterns recognized as dysautonomia.
Rather than treating dysautonomia as a collection of isolated symptoms, this volume examines the autonomic nervous system as an integrated control network responsible for maintaining blood pressure, heart rate, circulation, temperature, gastrointestinal function, fluid balance, stress adaptation, and internal homeostasis.
The book examines autonomic organization and homeostasis, cardiovascular autonomic regulation, neuroimmune and neurovascular signaling, small-fiber autonomic networks, autonomic compensation, orthostatic instability, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension, reflex syncope, autoimmune autonomic disorders, neurodegenerative autonomic failure, metabolic and systemic autonomic disease, and pediatric dysautonomia.
Part clinical physiology and part systems-based exploration of disease, the volume connects fundamental mechanisms with the complex patterns encountered in real-world autonomic medicine. It explains why apparently unrelated symptoms can arise from a shared regulatory disturbance-and how the interaction between neural, vascular, immune, endocrine, and peripheral mechanisms shapes the clinical expression of autonomic disease.
