Abstract
This chapter provides an update about cardiovascular aspects of Parkinson disease (PD), with the following topics: (1) Orthostatic hypotension (OH) as an early finding in PD; (2) neurocirculatory abnormalities in PD + OH independent of levodopa treatment; (3) cardiac and extracardiac noradrenergic denervation in PD + OH; (4) progressive loss of cardiac sympathetic innervation in PD without OH.
