In the chronic stage of spinal cord injury in humans, both innocuous and noxious somatic
and visceral stimuli can elicit severe autonomic dysreflexia characterized by potentially …

Spinal cord injury disrupts regulation of arterial pressure, often resulting in episodic
hypertension initiated by spinal reflexes. The contribution of spinally generated sympathetic …

Abnormal sympathetic tone after spinal cord injury (SCI) initially results in hypotension and
is subsequently associated with autonomie dysreflexia characterized by paroxysmal …

After experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats, autonomic dysreflexia is commonly
induced by slightly noxious cutaneous or visceral stimuli. The presence of autonomic …

Autonomic dysreflexia consistently develops in patients and in rats after severe upper
thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) as a result of exaggerated spinal sympathetic excitation. In …

Spinal cord injury results in abnormal sympathetic control of the cardiovascular system,
consisting of exaggerated reflexes with resulting hypertension and bradycardia that has …

Sympathetic vasoconstrictor pathways pass through paravertebral ganglia carrying ongoing
and reflex activity arising within the central nervous system to their vascular targets. The …

Spinal cord injury leads to many forms of autonomic dysfunction including autonomic
dysreflexia, a condition involving recurrent episodes of paroxysmal hypertension and …

Spinal cord injuries above mid-thoracic levels can lead to a potentially life-threatening
hypertensive condition termed autonomic dysreflexia that is often triggered by distension of …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has widespread physiological effects beyond the
disruption of sensory and motor function, notably the loss of normal autonomic and …
