title: Assessment of arrhythmia under micro-g by mental loading tests.
abstract: Based on data of former clinical studies (Johannes et al. 1994) the experiment regulation was designed to assess and classify the actual psychophysiological reactivity of the cosmonauts. Beside this scientific main goal of the experiment it was for us of interest to check the data whether the development of arrhythmia can be seen under micro-g conditions when flight related stressful conditions prevail. This report will focus on the ECG analysis of one subject in whom this was actually the case.
