Summary

This study looks at whether people with long-term spinal cord injury who also have a condition called autonomic dysreflexia (sudden high blood pressure) have changes in their heart structure. Researchers will use MRI scans to compare two groups: 24 people with high-level injury and dysreflexia, and 24 people with low-level injury without dysreflexia. The goal is to understand if dysreflexia is a hidden risk factor for heart problems.
