Course Description
The autonomic nervous system plays a critical role in maintaining physiological balance across multiple organ systems. In this session, Nathan Keiser examines current clinical concepts related to Dysautonomia and the wide range of symptoms that may arise when autonomic regulation is disrupted. Participants will explore how sympathetic and parasympathetic systems coordinate cardiovascular function, digestion, thermoregulation, and other essential physiological processes. The lecture reviews common clinical presentations—including orthostatic intolerance, dizziness, fatigue, and heart rate irregularities—and discusses how clinicians evaluate autonomic function in practice. By understanding the mechanisms behind autonomic dysregulation, practitioners can better recognize patterns of dysfunction and integrate autonomic assessment into neurological evaluation. This course provides a framework for identifying dysautonomia in clinical settings and improving patient care through more comprehensive neurological assessment.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system.
- Recognize common symptoms associated with dysautonomia.
- Identify physiological mechanisms contributing to autonomic dysfunction.
- Explore clinical approaches used to assess autonomic regulation.
- Apply autonomic concepts to improve patient evaluation and care.
