Popis: Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the cardiovascular responses to postural challenge, leading to the development of orthostatic hypotension (OH). Here, we apply lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to rodents with high-level SCI to demonstrate the usefulness of LBNP as a model for experimental OH studies, and to explore the effect of simulated OH on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function following SCI.
