| Abstract: | Background Fabry patients have symptoms and signs compatible with autonomic dysfunction. These symptoms and signs are considered to be
due to impairment of the peripheral nervous system, but findings indicative of autonomic neuropathy in other diseases, such
as orthostatic intolerance and male sexual dysfunction, are infrequently reported in Fabry disease. The aim of our study was
to investigate autonomic symptoms and cardiovascular autonomic function in a large cohort of male and female Fabry patients. |
