  • Title: Cardiovascular effects of a fractional -Gz force during a relatively prolonged exposure.
    Author: Cardus D.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 1996 Sep; 3(2):65-7. PubMed ID: 11540286.
    Abstract:
    Artificial hypogravity was created by having subjects remain in a supine position while undergoing rotation in an artificial gravity simulator. Various cardiovascular variables, such as heart rate, cardiac output, thoracic electric impedance, and blood pressure were measured. Results indicated that the hypogravity force produced a headward fluid shift, as seen by a decrease in thoracic impedance, which triggers regulatory neuroendocrine mechanisms. These findings are presented and discussed.
