ABSTRACT
This review explores standardized clinical assessments for evaluating autonomic nervous system function. Here, we emphasize components of the autonomic medical history as the first pivotal test of the autonomic assessment. We further focus on standard noninvasive cardiovascular autonomic tests including heart rate responses to deep breathing, Valsalva maneuvers, and orthostatic challenges, along with insights from neurochemical tests and quantitative sudomotor axon reflex testing. The article also covers practical aspects of cardiovascular autonomic monitoring, including patient set-up using beat-to-beat blood pressure and ECG, specific assessment protocols, and their respective clinical interpretations that provide insight into adrenergic, cardiovagal, and sudomotor function.
