Currently available through Amazon, paperback: $90.24 and Kindle: $106.00. The first part of Autonomic Testing provides an understanding of the pertinent anatomy and physiology and explanations on how to conduct functional autonomic tests. This includes minimum requirements as well as additional monitors that can be utilized to provide additional information. Each test is further explained by the physiology, technique, and interpretation. This is useful for technologists because it brings together all aspects of performing an autonomic test. This section ends with a normal case study. The remainder of the book consists of ninety-nine cases presented over ten sections. The cases are grouped together based upon patterns and syndromes commonly encountered such as syncope, postural tachycardia syndromes, and small fiber neuropathy. The author also includes sections on testing with other neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders and multiple sclerosis.
