Spacelab life sciences flight experiments - An integrated approach to the study of cardiovascular deconditioning and orthostatic hypotensionA Spacelab experiment to study cardiovascular deconditioning and orthostatic hypotension is proposed. Previous experiments that have attempted to explain the factors which cause alterations in cardiovascular regulation are investigated. Based on these observations a hypothesis which states cephalad fluid shift produces cardiovascular changes is studied. The testing of the hypothesis is to include the analysis of physiological and anatomical changes in humans and animals for preflight and in-flight periods. The procedures and measurement techniques for the experiment are described.
