Cervical Cord Compression-Induced Hypertension: A Treatable Neurogenic Vascular Disorder.
Decompression surgery has been reported to attenuate hypertension in patients with cervical cord stenosis; however, the causal relationship and underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated whether cervical spinal cord compression induces blood pressure (BP) elevation and evaluated the therapeutic effects of decompression in a rodent model.
