Cardiovascular regulation during long-duration spaceflights to the International Space Station.
J Appl Physiol. 2011 Dec 1. [Epub ahead of print]
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22134699
NOTE: ISS results. From abstract: “Overall, these data show no change in markers of cardiovascular stability during long-duration spaceflight and only relatively small changes post-flight in seated rest. The current program routine of countermeasures on ISS provided sufficient stimulus to maintain cardiovascular stability under resting conditions during long-duration spaceflight.”
