Abstract
To determine whether frontotemporal lobar degeneration FTLD is associated with similar cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction to that seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS we compared cardiovascular parameters between ALS patients and patients with FTLDMSNA was significantly higher in both groups of patients compared with the controls p 001 while there were no significant differences in MSNA between the patients with FTLD and those with ALS During headup tilt changes in HR BP and the frequency of MSNA bursts were smaller in the patients than in controls p 005 or p 001
