  • Title: Life in space may help life on Earth.
    Author: Possehl SR.
    Journal: Aerosp Am; 1995 Mar; 33(3):32-4. PubMed ID: 11539929.
    Abstract:
    Teams of chronobiologists from the U.S., Russia, and Japan are working toward a remote computerized health care system which, once tested in space, may change how doctors diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and conditions predisposing stroke. The system is based on ongoing research indicating that swings in blood pressure charted over a span of 24 hr or longer, rather than a single systolic and diastolic reading, can reveal a new major risk factor for heart disease.
