The disease is a complex hypokinetic type with varying symptoms and unknown etiology. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate a summary of the condition such as the characteristics, incidence and prognosis. The paper will demonstrate the cause and the disease process associated with the condition along with a review of the literature regarding the effectiveness of current treatments.
