Cardiac repolarization evolves differently during the course of benign and disabling multiple sclerosis

Deterioration of cardiac autonomic regulation during the disease course associates with disabling but not with benign RRMS. Our findings suggest that assessment of cardiac autonomic regulation should be included in the evaluation of RRMS disease course. In addition, patients with disabling RRMS might be prone to unfavorable cardiovascular outcome also due to deterioration of autonomic nervous system.
