Cardiovascular

Overview of Cardiovascular research which addresses risks of space flight, including adaptive changes to the cephalad fluid shift (such as reduced circulating blood volume), potential for heart rhythm disturbances, reduction in cardiac mass, and changes in cardiac function, diminished aerobic capacity, cardiovascular contributions to changes in visual acuity and eye morphology during long duration space flight (alterations in body fluid distribution and possible elevations in intracranial pressure), and alt
