title: [Individual prediction by the analysis of preflight ECG data of cardiac function disorders in cosmonauts during standard deorbit after long-term space flights and in the period of postflight observation].
abstract: ECG records of 25 cosmonauts--members of 30 long-term Mir and ISS missions (73- to 197-day long) in the period of 1995-2007 were analyzed. The ECG records were made during medical selection, clinical-physiological investigations (KFO) before launch, insertion and standard descent, and post-flight KFO. No negative trends were discovered in 70% (n=21) of ECG records during insertion and descent of cosmonauts who had not have significant ECG deviations before flight. In 20% of ECG records (n=6) pre-launch individual properties of cardiac rhythm, conduction and end of the ventricular complex became more pronounced in the period of descent persisting after landing. In 10% of ECG records (n=3) the predicted ECG deviations were not found This was the first time when dynamic analysis of ECG records made on the stages of selection and pre-launch training was successful in predicting of 90% (n=27 of 30) of cardiac function deviations during descent. At the start of rehabilitation from long-term missions essentially each of the cosmonauts displayed ECG deviations which were more considerable as compared with the KFO and descent records.
