Abstract
- The autonomic function test consists of the tests that evaluate the sudomotor, cardiovascular adrenergic, and parasympathetic functions. As its importance grows, more and more medical institutions want to evaluate it properly. However, there are many variables to consider and difficulties in interpreting ambiguous results, which may lead to incorrect screening. This paper is intended to help provide an appropriate interpretation of autonomic function tests in clinical settings.
