Abstract Head-down bed rest (HDBR) reproduces the cardiovascular effects of microgravity. We tested hypothesis that regular high-intensity physical exercise (JUMP) could prevent this deconditioning, which be detected using seismocardiography (SCG) and ballistocardiography (BCG). 23 healthy males were exposed to 60-day HDBR: 12 in a group (JUMP), others control (CTRL). SCG BCG measured during supine controlled breathing protocols. From linear rotational SCG/BCG signals, integral kinetic...

Recent advancements in the field of space medicine and technology have extended boundaries travel, presenting humankind with ability to explore undiscovered habitats. As humans embark on long range missions, adaptation mechanisms will be put test, challenging provision medical care space. To date, a vast amount knowledge has been accumulated through series experiments, both terrestrial simulation environments missions ISS. result, functional health state algorithm developed validated by...

The transthoracic impedance cardiogram (ICG) and the acceleration ballistocardiogram (BCG) measured close to center of mass human body are generated by changes blood distribution. ICG is an integrated signal covering whole thorax spatial resolution poor. Comparison between both signals can be used elucidate source signal. We recorded ECG, ICG, BCG simultaneously in healthy subjects under resting microgravity conditions during parabolic flights. time interval R-peak ECG maximum (R-dZ/dtmax)...

In the article main principles of ballistocardiography are considered. Special attention is paid to registration spatial ballistocardiogramm. There exist two ballistocardiography: dynamic and seismic. event body displacements align an extent with shifting general center gravity. Ideal conditions for ballistocardiogram acquisition could be reached if rigidity internal relations had infinitely large value, while external was nearing zero. Then entire would depend only on forces imparted by...

<title>Abstract</title> The article analyzes how long-duration space missions effect on the heart rate variability parameters and invariable blood proteins. results are discussed taking into correlation between them. Seven Russian cosmonauts took part in research during their to International Space Station. Samples of dry drops were collected as experiment ''OMICs-SPK'', electrocardiogram samples "Cardiovector". It was established a linear relationship concentrations some proteins spectral...

<title>Abstract</title> Microgravity exposure induces cardiac deconditioning, primarily due to hypovolemia and inactivity. Animal models suggest microgravity may cause left ventricular (LV) papillary muscle atrophy, but this has not been studied in humans. This study used MRI assess LV mass morphology function nine male cosmonauts before 6 ± 2 days after long-duration spaceflight (247 90 days). Spaceflight did affect volumes ejection fraction increased heart rate (P &lt; 0.001), output =...

Ballistocardiography is recognized as a reliable method for non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular functions. In this work, wavelet approach was used on the y-axis ballistocardiogram (BCG) to evaluate respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) phenomenon using new parameter: amplitude modulation induced by respiration (BAMR). Eamax, local maximum energy BCGy, quantified each cardiac cycle. Then time series Eamax created and analyzed continuous transform provide BAMR values. The ECG compute RSA...
