Autonomic Nervous System Responses to Concussion: Arterial Pulse Contour Analysis

Autonomic Nervous System Responses to Concussion: Arterial Pulse Contour Analysis

The arterial pulse wave (APW) has a distinct morphology whose contours reflect dynamics in cardiac function and peripheral vascular tone as a result of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) control. With a transition from rest to increased metabolic demand, the expected augmentation of SNS outflow will n...
