ForwardClinical Autonomic Disorders: Case-Based and Laboratory Workshop 2025
This course is offered Live (in-person) only
Course Directors - Jeremy Cutsforth-Gregory, M.D., Kamal Shouman M.D., and David M. Sletten, M.B.A.
May 30 - 31, 2025 - Mayo Clinic - Rochester, Minnesota
This course focuses primarily on the three autonomic function tests that have CPT codes. Course lectures focus on underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing, factors that affect the results of these autonomic tests, and HCFA requirements. The heart of the course demonstrates specific autonomic function tests; including quantitative sudomotor axon reflect tests (QSART), tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver), and tests of the adrenergic function. Hands-on demonstrations are incorporated.
Content on the interpretation of common and uncommon examples of tests is highlighted, in addition to lectures on a number of dysautonomias (POTS, syncope, autoimmune neuropathy; and pain) on which new information is available, or disorders where the autonomic laboratory is responsible for evaluating.
Target Audience
This course is designed for individuals interested in the performance of noninvasive clinical autonomic tests, who are primarily neurologists, autonomic laboratory personnel, autonomic clinicians, and clinical neurophysiologists.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the underlying basis for the evaluation of autonomic function.
- Demonstrate how to utilize autonomic testing in patients with autonomic disorders.
- Develop a plan for autonomic testing of patients with autonomic disorders.
- Assess commercially available autonomic equipment.
- Select new autonomic function tests using underlying autonomic principles.
Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
