Background: Due to interruption of cardiovascular autonomic control unstable blood
pressure (BP) is common in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sixth thoracic …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to cardiovascular dysregulation, including persistent low blood
pressure (BP), orthostatic hypotension, and autonomic dysreflexia, leading to daily BP …

BACKGROUND This study determined whether the Autonomic Dysfunction Following Spinal
Cord Injury (ADFSCI) questionnaire, a measure of self-reported frequency and severity of …

Background To determine the degree of blood pressure instability over a 30-day home
observation in participants with spinal cord injury grouped by level of injury pertaining to …

Background: Clinically silent autonomic dysfunction with bowel and bladder care, are
postulated to contribute to cardiovascular disease after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) …

Trauma to the spinal cord often results not only in sensorimotor but also autonomic
impairments. The loss of autonomic control over the cardiovascular system can cause …

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the spinal
cord injury (SCI) population. SCI may disrupt autonomic cardiovascular homeostasis, which …

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are prone to orthostatic intolerance and an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The use of heart rate variability (HRV) and blood …

The capacity of the cerebrovasculature to buffer changes in blood pressure (BP) likely plays
an important role in the prevention of stroke, which is three-to fourfold more common after …

Unstable blood pressure after spinal cord injury (SCI) is not routinely examined but rather
predicted by level and completeness of injury (ie, American Spinal Injury Association …
