Human Disease Lab Series The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

The SymptomsThis ANSassociated disease produces a reflex response decreasing cardiac output (CO) and heart rate (HR)further producing shortness of breath, chest pain and syncope.   

Diagnosis

How would you diagnose thisANSassociated disease?What clinical diagnostic aids would you utilize in this process and why?

Misdiagnosis

Why might an athlete be incorrectly diagnosed and treated for this condition? Does an accurate and thorough patient history determine proper diagnosis? 

Differential Diagnosis

What varying specialties might be involved in this differential diagnostic process and why? Is cranial nerve testing necessary? Define your reasoning.Misdiagnosis

 Define the major characteristics associated with this ANSassociated disease. Demonstrate at least three 

 Treatment is not necessary in all cases of this disease.Define the standard treatment protocol for this disease outlining the risks and benefits associated 

 This ANSassociated disease can affect multiple human systems. List and describe a systemic implication for each of the systems listed below.Why might an athlete be incorrectly diagnosed and treated for this condition? Does an accurate and thorough patient history determine proper diagnosis?  

Systems Affected 

· Respiratory

· Cardiovascular

· Peripheral Nervous

· Central Nervous

· Autonomic Nervous

NeurologicalMechanism

This ANSassociated disease is a neurological mechanism involving the dysfunction of a major cranial nerve. Identify the cranial nerve and the associated branch of the ANS involved. Define and explain how the cardiovascular system is adversely affected by this ANS division dysfunction.
