Pathophysiology is unclear. Yet, central autonomic network dysfunction may contribute to cardiovascular dysregulation and increased mortality. Purely parasympathetic cardiovascular challenge by eyeball pressure stimulation (EP), might unveil subtle autonomic dysfunction in post-mTBI patients. We investigated whether mild EP shows autonomic cardiovascular dysregulation in post-mTBI patients. In 24 patients (34\u2009\u00b1\u200912 years; 5\u201386 months post-injury) and 27 controls (30\u2009\u00b1\u200911 years), we monitored respiration, electrocardiographic RR intervals (RRI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BPsys, BPdia) before and during 2\u2009min of 30\u2009mm Hg EP, applied by an ophthalmologic ocular pressure device (Okulopressor\n                    <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                    ). We calculated spectral powers of RRI in the mainly sympathetic low frequency (LF; 0.04\u20130.15\u2009Hz) and parasympathetic high frequency (HF; 0.15\u20130.5\u2009Hz) ranges, and of BP in the sympathetic LF range, the RRI-LF\/HF ratio as index of the sympathetic\u2013parasympathetic balance, normalized (nu) RRI-LF- and HF-powers, and LF- and HF-powers after natural logarithmic transformation (ln). Parameters before and during EP in post-mTBI patients and controls were compared by repeated measurement analysis of variance with\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">post hoc<\/jats:italic>\n                    analysis (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). During EP, BPsys and BPdia increased in post-mTBI patients. Only in controls but not in post-mTBI patients, EP increased RRI-HFnu-powers and decreased RRI-LF-powers, RRI-LFnu-powers, BPsys-LF-powers, BPsys-lnLF-powers and BPdia-lnLF-powers. RRI-LF\/HF ratios slightly increased in post-mTBI patients but slightly decreased in controls upon EP. Even with only mild EP, our controls showed normal EP responses and shifted sympathetic\u2013parasympathetic balance towards parasympathetic predominance. In contrast, our post-mTBI patients could not increase parasympathetic heart rate modulation but increased BP upon EP, indicating a paradox sympathetic activation. The findings support the hypothesis that central autonomic dysfunction might contribute to an increased cardiovascular risk, even years after mTBI.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/neu.2014.3842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,20]],"date-time":"2015-07-20T12:20:46Z","timestamp":1437394846000},"page":"1796-1804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Eyeball Pressure Stimulation Unveils Subtle Autonomic Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Persons with a History of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Max J.","family":"Hilz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Aurnhammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven R.","family":"Flanagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tassanai","family":"Intravooth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruihao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina M.","family":"H\u00f6sl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychosomatic Medicine","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Pauli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Koehn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Erlangen-Nuremberg","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","volume-title":"Central Nervous System Injury Surveillance: Annual Data Standards for the year 2002","author":"Marr AL","year":"2002","unstructured":"Marr AL, and Coronado VG. 2002.
