Long-term exposure to space’s microgravity alters the time structure of heart rate variability of astronauts

Background: Spaceflight alters human cardiovascular dynamics. The less negative slope of the fractal scaling of heart rate variability (HRV) of astronauts exposed long-term to microgravity reflects cardiovascular deconditioning. We here focus on specific frequency regions of HRV. Methods: Ten health...
