Cardiac sympathetic innervation and vesicular storage in pure autonomic failure [PDF]
Objective Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a rare disease characterized by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), absence of signs of central neurodegeneration, and profound deficiency of the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
