About the Trigemino-Cardiac Reflex, their Association with Sleep Bruxism and the Reason Why Clinicians Treating Sb Should Consider a Careful Examination in Order to Decide Properly How to Adequately Follow these Patients by Miguel Meira e Cruz in Online Journal of Neurology and Brain Disorders in Lupine Publishers
Although well established as a neurogenic reflex pursuing
a cardiovascular protective control in physiological
conditions, trigemino-cardiac reflex (TCR) mechanisms
and its clinical significance remains unclear This powerful
brainstem oxygen-conserving autonomic reflex usually
manifests as sudden onset of hemodynamic changes on
heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) and has been associated
to arrhytmias, asystole, apnea and disturbed gastric
mobility [1].
