Correlating autonomic physiology with symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia after spinal cord injury
Although this confirms smaller previous studies suggesting increased α1 adrenoreceptor sensitivity and lower baroreflex sensitivity in individuals with SCI, contrary to our hypothesis these differences lacked correlation to increased symptoms of AD. Further research into physiologic mechanisms is needed to explain why some individuals with SCI develop symptoms.
