A practical guide for researchers and physicians interested in autonomic investigations of the heart. Part I deals with the physiology of the cardiac autonomic system that creates the background of particular tests, and explains pathophysiology of cardiac autonomic disorders.

Part III summarizes the value of autonomic testing in clinical practice and describes conditions which might alter the results of autonomic investigations, such as ageing, concomitant therapy, and recreational drugs.
