Mechanical deconditioning of the heart due to long-term bed rest as observed on seismocardiogram morphology
Abstract During head-down tilt bed rest (HDT) the cardiovascular system is subject to headward fluid shifts. The fluid shift phenomenon is analogous to weightlessness experienced during spaceflight microgravity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of prolonged 60-day bed rest on...
