Autonomic dysreflexia during sperm retrieval in spinal cord injury: influence of lesion level and sildenafil citrate.
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) can occur during penile vibratory stimulation in men with spinal cord injury, but this is variable, and the association with lesion level is unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize the cardiovascular responses to penile vibratory stimulation in men with spinal cord injury. We hypothesized that those with cervical injuries would demonstrate a greater deg...
متن کاملAssessment of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS To assess the impairment of supraspinal control over spinal sympathetic centres and the occurrence of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with spinal cord injury. Autonomic dysreflexia is caused by the disconnection of spinal sympathetic centres from supraspinal control and is characterised by paroxysmal hypertensive episodes caused by non-specific stimuli below the level o...
متن کاملAutonomic dysreflexia in a parturient with spinal cord injury.
Autonomic dysreflexia (ADR) is a syndrome of imbalanced reflex sympathetic discharge occurring in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the level of splanchnic sympathetic outflow (T6). We present the case of a 29 year-old, gravida 3, para 1 Caucasian female at 28 weeks gestation, with a history of T3 SCI secondary to a gunshot wound 9 years prior, who developed ADR during preterm ...

According to the anatomy of this system, spinal cord lesions could disturb its function. There are many reports of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord i njuries especially spinal cord trauma. Case Presentation: A 28 year-o...
متن کاملCardiac Consequences of Autonomic Dysreflexia in Spinal Cord Injury.
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), which describes episodic hypertension, is highly prevalent in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). In non-SCI, primary hypertension depresses cardiac contractile reserve via β-adrenergic mechanisms. In this study, we investigated whether AD contributes to the impairment in cardiac contractile function that accompanies SCI. We induced SCI in rodents and stratified th...
