For such patients, the anxiety sensitivity index may have better predictivity for anxiety disorders while the Beck Anxiety Inventory may misleadingly suggest anxiety for patients with dysautonomia. [33] Mitochondrial cytopathies can have autonomic dysfunction manifesting as orthostatic intolerance, sleep-related hypoventilation, and arrhythmias.
