“…This work seems to be the first one to have studied cardiovascular changes by intra arterial monitoring and by electrocardiogram during sexual activity of a cord patient where ejaculations were provoked by intrathecal injection of neostigmine which elicited severe symptoms of autonomous dysrefiexia. Elevation of urinary catecholamines, which were first observed by Garnier et al (1963) to play an important role in dysrefiexia, were also found to be elevated not only in the urine but also in the blood of our patient. A close relationship has been established between ejaculations, hypertensive crises, changes in heart activity and level of cathecholamines.…”

“…There have been several papers devoted to blood pressure changes and cardiac modifications especially during bladder filling but also during uterus contractions (Guttmann & Whitteridge, 1947;Schumacher & Guthrie, 1951;Cunningham et al, 1953;Kendrick et al, 1953;Mertens et ai., 1960;Garnier et al, 1963;Guttmann, 1963;Guttmann et al, 1965;Roussan et al, 1966;Rossier et al, 1969).

SUMMARY1. A study has been made of the effect of head-up tilt on blood pressure, heart rate, forearm blood flow and occluded vein pressure in the hand and foot in non-bedridden patients with chronic, closed, complete, localized traumatic transaction of the cervical spinal cord.2. In typical responses the blood pressure fell and the heart rate rose progressively for about 2 min, tending to plateau thereafter. The average falls in mean blood pressure for tilts of + 30, + 45 and + 600 were from 68 to 44, 74 to 36 and 70 to 44 mm Hg respectively, and the corresponding heart rate increases were from 67 to 85, 62 to 97 and 62 to 103 beats/min respectively. One patient lost consciousness when his blood pressure was 29/19 mm Hg and one other patient experienced symptoms suggesting cerebral ischaemia. 3. Following the return to horizontal, the blood pressure and heart rate usually returned to their previous values within 1 min and the blood pressure tended to overshoot slightly in the following few minutes. No immediate blood pressure overshoot occurred after the tilt except in association with a spasm of skeletal muscles.4. There was consistently a decrease in forearm blood flow, sometimes to unrecordably low levels and a venoconstriction with postural change and it is argued that these changes are the result of spinal cardiovascular reflexes to peripheral vessels. Following the return to the horizontal position, there was occasionally a large immediate increase in forearm blood flow. 5. Following the intravenous administration of 3 mg atropine on two occasions, head-up tilting produced further small heart rate increases.6. Spasms of skeletal muscle occur frequently in these patients and
