Pure Autonomic Failure with Asymptomatic Hypertensive Urgency: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
We report the case study of a 70-year-old gentleman who presented with isolated, slowly progressive dizziness after prolonged standing and was eventually diagnosed with pure autonomic failure.

Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the autonomic nervous system clinically characterized by orthostatic hypotension. The disorder has also been known as Bradbury-Eggleston syndrome, named for the authors of the 1925 seminal description.

Alpha-Synuclein Oligomers and Neurofilament Light Chain Predict Phenoconversion of Pure Autonomic Failure. [PDF]
To explore the role of alpha‐synuclein (αSyn) oligomers and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF) as markers of future phenoconversion to multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Pure autonomic failure versus prodromal dysautonomia in Parkinson’s disease: Insights from the bedside. [PDF]
Autonomic failure may include orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, bowel and bladder disturbances, impaired thermal regulation, and sexual dysfunction, all of which can be features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other a‐synucleinopathies.

Central Involvement in Pure Autonomic Failure: Insights from Neuromelanin-Sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging and <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorodopa-Positron Emission Tomography. [PDF]
Central synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), involve alpha‐synuclein accumulation and dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra (SN) and locus coeruleus (LC). Pure

Renal impairment of pure autonomic failure. [PDF]
Supine hypertension is difficult to manage in patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF), because treatment can worsen orthostatic hypotension. Supine hypertension in PAF has been associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, but end organ damage in the kidney has not been assessed.

RBD in pure autonomic failure [PDF]
Pure autonomic failure is considered to be a degenerative condition of the autonomic nervous resulting from accumulation of alpha-synuclein in autonomic ganglia [1,2]. Lack of CNS involvement distinguishes this disorder from other synucleopathies with CNS involvement like MSA, DLB and PD. However, long term follow-up of PAF patients has shown that some

Phenoconversion in pure autonomic failure: a multicentre prospective longitudinal cohort study. [PDF]
We aimed to describe the clinical features of patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF) preceding phenoconversion that could be useful as predictive markers for advancing α-synuclein-associated neurodegeneration of the brain. Patients diagnosed with PAF
