title: [Central and general hemodynamics in healthy persons during simulated weightlessness].
abstract: The pumping and contractile functions of the left ventricle were investigated during combined exposure to water immersion and head-down tilt (at -6 degrees) that simulated microgravity. This 7-day exposure caused noticeable changes in central and systemic circulation which developed as a function of time. It is assumed that the deficiency of venous blood return seen on test days 1-3 was a compensatory response to initial blood displacement which was induced by a reduction of the circulating blood volume. The reduction was in turn a result of responses from volumoreceptors of the heart and intrathoracic vessels to "excessive" intrathoracic blood volume.
