Prevalence of Autonomic Dysreflexia in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury above T6
Objective To investigate the prevalence of autonomic dysreflexia (AD) using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and the autonomic dysfunction following spinal cord injury (ADFSCI) questionnaire in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) above T6. Methods Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with SCI above T6 were enrolled. ABPM and ADFSCI were utilized to assess AD. Using ABPM, systolic blo...
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 spinal cord injury patients: an overview.
Introduction As chiropractors, we pride ourselves in our knowledge of the nervous system. An autonomic nervous system condition common to patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) is autonomic dysreflexia (AD).1 It is a syndrome of massive imbalanced reflex sympathetic discharge occurring in patients with SCI above the splanchnic sympathetic outflow (T5-T6).2 Chiropractors can play an important ro...
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 ...
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...
