[Compensatory-adaptive reactions of regional hemodynamics to weightlessness during a long space flight].

This paper discusses regional hemodynamics and vascular regulation during and after space flights of over 3 months in duration. Mechanisms of cardiovascular adaptation to weightlessness are described. The postflight differences in the recovery of regional hemodynamics seem to depend on the individual characteristics, age-related changes of the cardiovascular system, as well as the countermeasures and rehabilitation measures performed during and after flight.
