Abstract
The relationship between autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is controversial. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a powerful, simple and reliable technique for the evaluation of ANS dysfunction. Recently, we reported on normal HRV parameters, suggestive of normal ANS function, in patients with uncomplicated FMF. Also, we reported on an association between decreased HRV parameters (suggestive of ANS dysfunction), and amyloidosis of FMF, particularly at a progressive stage.
