Autonomic dysfunction and chronic disease 1800-OG-EN-ADaChD

Dysautonomia symptoms are of a very discretenature and may develop much earlier than symptoms specific for a givenchronic disease, significantly influencing the treatment process itself. Growing points: ANS dysfunctions should be considered at each stage of thediagnostic and treatment processes, as a predictor for the patient’s clinicalcondition. Areas timely for developing research: Many researchers indicate that adecrease in dysautonomia intensity has a direct effect on the progress ofthe underlying disease and undoubtedly contributes to the improvement ofthe general health condition or to symptoms remission.
In this lecture students will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. They will learn about basic neuroanatomy and role of autonomic nervous system in pathophysiology of various chronic disesase. The course includes illustrated lecture presentation and quizzes to help students expand and test your knowledge of the nervous system. By the end of this course, students will have a better understanding of how the entire body influences, and is influenced, by the nervous system.
