Effects of head-down bed rest on complex heart rate variability: response to LBNP testing

M. L. Wood , S. M. Fortney , Ary L. Goldberger +2 more

Head-down bed rest is used to model physiological changes during spaceflight. We postulated that bed rest would decrease the degree of complex physiological heart rate variabili...
