In response to traumatic injury, the cardiovascular system typically reacts with an increase in heart rate. This physiological response is part of the body's effort to maintain adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs in the face of potential blood loss or shock. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Heart rate changes during trauma and usually increases.
