Abstract
Evaluation of the important role of autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays in the development, progression, treatment and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has not been routine in clinical practice. However, new studies using a unique, easily applied technology have demonstrated the importance of ANS measures in the management of patients with risk factors for CVD, hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, congestive heart failure, and coronary disease. This new, unique technique and results of many studies will be discussed in detail. It is suggested that ANS measurement should be routinely used in CVD clinics, improving outcomes and lowering costs.
