1. The severity of autonomic dysfunction as
measured by Ewing battery test predicts poor functional outcome after
acute ischaemic stroke.
2. Severe autonomic dysfunction may be related to worse dynamic cerebral autoregulation in affected side in patients with anterior circulation infarct.
3. Relatively severe autonomic dysfunction is associated with lower variation of blood pressure in patients following acute ischaemic stroke.
