Simulated Hypergravity Activates Hemostasis in Healthy Volunteers

Simulated Hypergravity Activates Hemostasis in Healthy Volunteers

Background Hypergravity may promote human hemostasis thereby increasing thrombotic risk. Future touristic suborbital spaceflight will expose older individuals with chronic medical conditions, who are at much higher thromboembolic risk compared with professional astronauts, to hypergravity. Therefore...
