Clinical Autonomic Quantitation Workshop
May 16 - 17, 2009
This course will focus primarily on the three autonomic function tests that have CPT codes. The program will intergrate three specific aims beginning with a series of lectures on the underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing and factors that affect the results of these autonomic tests, and HCFA requirements. The heart of the workshop will be a demonstration of specific autonomic function tests. The tests to be demonstrated will be the quantitative sudomotor avon reflect test (QSART), tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver), and tests of the adrenergic function. A departure this year will be the a switch to the use of commercially available equipment.
Another innovation this year, in recognition of the increased number of autonomic laboratories, will be a series of sessions on the interpretation of common and uncommon examples of tests. We will additionally provide lectures on a number of dysautonomias (POTS, syncope, autoimmune neuropathy, and pain) on which new information is available, or disorders where the autonomic laboratory has a responsibility to evaluate. The remaining time will be devoted to handling questions and demonstrating typical examples of abnormal findings seen in tests of autonomic function.
