Cardiovascular Monitoring During Video Urodynamic Studies in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury

Objective The aims of the study were to observe cardiovascular responses during video urodynamic studies and to identify correlations between autonomic dysreflexia events and video urodynamic study findings in spinal cord injuries. Design Thirty-four persons with spinal cord injury were enrolled and investigated using continuous cardiovascular monitoring during video urodynamic studies. Associations between cardiovascular responses and video study variables were analyzed. Results Bladder type–specific cardiovascular responses occurred during the study. The incidence of overactive detrusor during urodynamic study and bladder trabeculation on voiding cystourethrogram was significantly higher in autonomic dysreflexia persons with spinal cord injury (P
