    Abstract:
    Medical results of inflight cardiovascular measurements made in the 6th prime crew at rest and during provocative graded bicycle exercises and LBNP tests are presented. The methods of electrocardiography, tetrapolar rheography, kinetocardiography, arteriovenous pulsography and tacho-oscillography have been used to examine the cosmonauts. Together with regular cardiovascular changes typical of microgravity effect the individual peculiarities of developing the control mechanisms are noted. Thus in one of the cosmonauts a number of symptoms responsible for a decreased venous return. As a whole the functional state of the cardiovascular system on all flight stages was characterized by a sufficiently high physiological level.
