Characterizing the temporal development of cardiovascular dysfunction and examining morphology and function of resistance mesenteric vasculature in a T3 experimental spinal cord injury rodent model

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts autonomic pathways and perturbs cardiovascular homeostasis. High thoracic or cervical SCI may result in a variety of dire cardiovascular consequences such as persistent hypotension, impaired hemodynamic diurnal rhythmicity and autonomic dysreflexia (AD). If left un...
