Atherogenic potential of microgravity hemodynamics in the carotid bifurcation: a numerical investigation

Abstract Long-duration spaceflight poses multiple hazards to human health, including physiological changes associated with microgravity. The hemodynamic adaptations occurring upon entry into weightlessness have been associated with retrograde stagnant flow conditions and thromboembolic events in the...
