Summary
The aim of this investigation is to determine the blood pressure response to NOS inhibition,
with L-NAME, in persons with tetraplegia compared to non-SCI control subjects and to
establish if blood pressure can be increased while upright in those with tetraplegia. If
blood pressure is increased with NOS inhibition in persons with tetraplegia, this would
improve our treatment of the condition of low blood pressure during seated postures in
individuals with tetraplegia.
