Why the study?
The study was conducted to define the mechanism of formation of orthostatic hypotension in patients with traumatic tetraplegia.
Observational (n=64)
Both sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system are involved in the formation of orthostatic hypotension syndrome in patients with spinal tetraplegia.
AIM: To define the mechanism of formation of orthostatic hypotension in patients with traumatic tetraplegia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 64 patients with chronic (more 6 month) and subacute (less 6 month) tetraplegia; the period of observation was about 30 days after admission to the rehabilitation center. Changes in the state of the autonomic nervous systems (heart rate variability at rest and head-up tilt test, sinus arrhythmia) were studied. RESULTS: ) 1.09 (1.040; 1200). An increase in expiratory-inspiratory coefficient as a result of physical rehabilitation up to 1.16 (1.120; 1.24) was noted only in patients less than 6 months after injury. CONCLUSION: Both sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system are involved in the formation of orthostatic hypotension syndrome in patients with spinal tetraplegia.
