Key result
TBI frequently triggers cardiovascular dysfunction, including autonomic dysregulation, ECG abnormalities, and elevated cardiac enzymes.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular dysfunction frequently complicates outcomes of traumatic brain injury, leading to higher morbidity and mortality, but cardiovascular alterations and management after TBI are not fully characterized.

Traumatic brain injury is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction, including autonomic nervous system dysregulation and cardiac abnormalities, which impact patient outcomes.
Cardiovascular dysfunction frequently complicates outcomes of traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. TBI results in dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system (mediated by catecholamines), altered systemic circulation homeostasis medicated by neurogenic stimuli, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic abnormities, and change in serum cardiac enzyme levels (not attributed to primary cardiac pathology). The present review attempts to find cardiovascular alterations following TBI, management to these patients, and their outcome.

Padilla-Zambrano et al. (2018) conducted a review in Traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury was evaluated on Cardiovascular alterations, management, and outcome. Traumatic brain injury frequently leads to cardiovascular dysfunction, including autonomic nervous system dysregulation, ECG and echocardiographic abnormalities, and altered cardiac enzymes.
