Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts autonomic circuits and impairs synchronistic functioning of
the autonomic nervous system, leading to inadequate cardiovascular regulation. Individuals …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in motor and sensory impairments that can be identified with
the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS). Although, SCI may …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive method to measure cardiac autonomic
function. Impairments in HRV have been proposed as independent risk factor for increased …

Assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) is a common approach to examine cardiac
autonomic nervous system modulation that has been employed in a variety of settings …

Age is an important consideration for recovery and repair after spinal cord injury. Spinal cord
injury is increasingly affecting the middle-aged and aging populations. Despite rapid …

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a serious cardiovascular disorder in patients with spinal cord
injury (SCI). The primary underlying cause of AD is loss of supraspinal control over …

Background Fluctuations in 24-hour cardiovascular hemodynamics, specifically heart rate
(HR) and blood pressure (BP), are thought to reflect autonomic nervous system (ANS) …

BACKGROUND Although increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity is commonly
associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), a …

Abstract Ciccone, AB, Deckert, JA, Schlabs, CR, Tilden, MJ, Herda, TJ, Gallagher, PM, and

Inflammation in individuals with SCI may negatively impact functional recovery and medical
consequences after SCI. Exploring the potential of the vagus nerve-based inflammatory …
