The effect of blood volume and volume loading on left ventricular diastolic function in individuals with spinal cord injury
Abstract
Study design:Cohort Study (Prospective Observational Study).Objectives:The objectives of the study were (i) to examine left ventricular (LV) diastolic function at rest and during rapid saline infusion in those with spinal cord injury (SCI) and (ii) to determine the contribution of blood volume on the purported diastolic impairments in individuals with SCI.Settings:St Catharines, ON, Canada.Methods:Thirteen SCI (AIS:A-D; C4–T6; age: 41±8.5; 10 …
