I am not sure what the autonomic nervous system does precisely and how that correlates to the cardiovascular system and thus would impact on fatigue but the conclusion was:

"the autonomic nervous system involvement could be related to the inflammatory process. This autonomic strain may be related to the cardiac involvement in AS patients."

Seems sketchy at best to conclude that this dtudy means anything to AS and why fatigue is such a factor.

On the other hand trying to decipher what autonomic cardiovascular contro was I came across an article that indicated that it may impact on the vestibular system. OF course that by definition means it may not. I sure would like to know how my AS is causing my vertigo. Oh well.
