Limited Effect of 60-Days Strict Head Down Tilt Bed Rest on Vascular Aging

BackgroundCardiovascular risk may be increased in astronauts after long term space flights based on biomarkers indicating premature vascular aging. We tested the hypothesis that 60 days of strict 6° head down tilt bed rest (HDTBR), an established space analog, promotes vascular stiffening and that a...
