Clinical Autonomic Disorders: Case-Based and Laboratory Workshop

Rochester, MN US
May 19, 2023 to May 20, 2023

Course Directors - Elizabeth Coon, M.D., Jeremy Cutsforth-Gregory, M.D., Kamal Shouman, M.D. and David M. Sletten, M.B.A.

May 19 - 20, 2023 - Kern Lecture Hall, Mayo Clinic - Rochester, Minnesota

This course focuses primarily on the three autonomic function tests that have CPT codes. Course lectures focus on underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing, factors that affect the results of these autonomic tests, and HCFA requirements. The heart of the course demonstrates specific autonomic function tests; including quantitative sudomotor axon reflect tests (QSART), tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver), and tests of the adrenergic function. Hands-on demonstrations are incorporated.

Content on the interpretation of common and uncommon examples of tests is highlighted, in addition to lectures on a number of dysautonomias (POTS, syncope, autoimmune neuropathy; and pain) on which new information is available, or disorders where the autonomic laboratory is responsible for evaluating.

Target Audience

This course is designed for individuals interested in the performance of non-invasive clinical autonomic tests, who are primarily neurologists, autonomic laboratory personnel, autonomic clinicians, and clinical neurophysiologists.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Recognize the underlying basis for the evaluation of autonomic function.
