Abstract
Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is a frequent finding in many neurological and internal diseases. The quantitative assessment of cardiovascular and sudomotor function is important for diagnosing the autonomic impairment. In this review article, we focus on standard tests that allow evaluation of cardiovascular and sudomotor autonomic functions and describe methods of quantitative assessment that are better suited for research.
