Does mild traumatic brain injury cause cardiovascular-autonomic dysregulation compared to healthy controls?
Patients with mild traumatic brain injury exhibit long-term cardiovascular-autonomic dysregulation, characterized by reduced cardiovagal modulation and baroreflex sensitivity.
Hilz et al. (2011) studied this question.
