Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world and is characterized by bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. Although it has been considered as a motor system disease, it is currently considered as a complex neurological disease with different motor, non-motor, and autonomic manifestations. Cardiovascular manifestations in patients with Parkinson's disease are frequent and they have a great impact on quality of life. This article seeks to carry out a narrative review of the pathophysiological mechanisms and the main cardiovascular clinical manifestations in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Keywords : Parkinson's disease; dysautonomia; orthostatic hypotension; heart failure; hypertension.(MeSH).
