Why do different people with Spinal Cord Injury have differing severity of symptoms with Autonomic Dysreflexia? Exploring relationships of vascular alpha-1 adrenoreceptor and baroreflex sensitivity after SCI

Abstract

Introduction Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) commonly have autonomic dysreflexia (AD) with increased sympathetic activity. After SCI, individuals have decreased baroreflex sensitivity and increased vascular responsiveness.
