Research

Below are some of the best and most used research publications in circulation on CVS at this time. Research is still in its infancy when it comes to CVS, but as you can see from the below articles and abstracts, we do have some good information to work with for now. It is of the utmost importance that we raise funds for CVSA to help fund these research endeavors! The research is how we will move forward in learning about what causes, and how to treat, this disorder.

Most of these links will take you to the abstract of the publication. If you’d like to view or download the entire article, look for and click the links that say “full text version” or “PDF”.
