We concluded that the magnitude of hyperventilation during standing is associated with individual difference in the magnitude of hypotension in individuals with SCI. The mechanism(s) for this relationship remains unresolved, but afferent signals from baroreceptors to the brainstem respiratory center and/or action of pressor substances on the central nervous system might have caused hyperventilation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
