Modelling physiology of haemodynamic adaptation in short-term microgravity exposure and orthostatic stress on Earth

Abstract Cardiovascular haemodynamics alters during posture changes and exposure to microgravity. Vascular auto-remodelling observed in subjects living in space environment causes them orthostatic intolerance when they return on Earth. In this study we modelled the human haemodynamics with focus on...
