Spectral HRV/BPV analysis detects level-specific autonomic changes in rodent SCI; hypothesis-generating for human orthostatic hypotension assessment.
Does spectral analysis detect alterations in cardiovascular autonomic function in rodents with spinal cord injury?
Spectral analyses can detect alterations in cardiovascular autonomic function in rodents with spinal cord injury, correlating with clinically relevant measures like orthostatic hypotension and autonomic dysreflexia.
