心血管自主神经功能障碍是α-突触核蛋白病的常见早期表现,尤以神经原性直立性低血压最为突出。本文系统梳理了其生理调节机制和病理分布特点,并从临床表现、流行病学及生理学、神经生物化学和影像学等方面进行了综述,旨在提高对心血管自主神经功能障碍在该类疾病中价值的认识,以提升临床早期识别、鉴别诊断与转归预测能力,并为未来精准诊疗提供依据。
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a common early manifestation of α-synucleinopathies,particularly neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. This article systematically reviews the physiological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular autonomic regulation and the pathological distribution patterns of this dysfunction. It also reviews the relevant literature on clinical manifestations,epidemiology,physiology,neurobiochemistry,and imaging. The aim is to improve understanding of the value of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in α-synucleinopathies,thereby enhancing early clinical recognition,differential diagnosis,and outcome prediction,and providing a basis for precision diagnosis and treatment in the future.
