Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) influences phenotypic variation in Parkinson’s disease (PD), and is usually an indication for statin therapy. It is less clear whether cardiovascular risk factors influence PD phenotype, and if statins are prescribed appropriately.
Objectives
To quantify vascular risk and statin use in recent onset PD, and examine the relationship between vascular risk, PD severity and phenotype.
Methods
Cardiovascular risk w...
