ET vs Parkinsons

In this presentation, Dr. Arif Dalvi, with the Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute in Florida, shares how neurologists evaluate and diagnose essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). He said almost every ET patient he sees is concerned they may have PD. Alternatively, almost every patient with PD asks him, “Are you sure I have Parkinson’s disease? Why is it not just essential tremor?”

Thank you for the info. I understood from info on ET that calcium leaks out of the brain cells. I have ET and also CPVT a heart failure also leaking calcium out of the heart cells is their any connection between these two conditions?

We are not familiar with this. Did you read it in a study or online somewhere?

There are several studies from Yale, Columbia University in investigating this on Alzheimer, cognitive decline, Huntington. The study on ET is out there somewhere I continue to find this for you
