Our paper looking at the cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR; i.e. brain blood vessel health) following spinal cord injury has been accepted in Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation!
Basically:
- We investigated the dynamic and steady-state components of CVR using fMRI in individuals with a spinal cord injury.
- The dynamic component was significantly different compared to non-injured controls.
- CVR was significantly correlated with time since injury, level of injury and ambulatory daytime blood pressure.
