Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the involvement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the determinism of cerebrovascular pathologies both as a modulating factor of cerebral autoregulation and as a concausal risk element for the pathology. In particular, the mechanisms through which ANS dysfunction can cause the onset of the pathological manifestations of stroke and chronic vascular suffering of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the sequelae of the acute event and the accompanying manifestations of the chronic phase of the disease, are indicated. In particular, the main changes induced by acute stroke on autonomic functions (especially cardiopressor functions), their prognostic significance, and their functional assessment by means of the most commonly used laboratory tests are described. Possible modulation and control measures on autonomic alterations before and after the acute vascular event are finally reported.
