Why do different people with Spinal Cord Injury have differing severity of symptoms with Autonomic Dysreflexia? Exploring relationships of vascular alpha-1 adrenoreceptor and baroreflex sensitivity after SCI.

While this confirms smaller previous studies suggesting increased α1 adrenoreceptor sensitivity and lower baroreflex sensitivity in individuals with SCI, these differences lacked correlation to increased symptoms of AD. Further research into physiologic mechanisms to explain why some individuals with SCI develop symptoms is needed.
