Astronauts have low blood pressure

American researchers said that under the influence of low gravity or in gravity, the cause of blood pressure drop for astronauts returning to space from space.

Postural hypotension occurs for about half of astronauts working in space within 2 weeks. For astronauts working on space for 4-6 months, the rate of hypotension is nearly 100%.

According to UPI news agency, scientists have found that low gravity is the cause of normal spasm of arteries and veins that inhibit blood flow. Michael D.Delp and colleagues at the University of Florida studied, analyzed, compared the arteries and veins of mice stored at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida with control groups from mice. each flight during the last 3 years of missions performed by the shuttle. These mice have postural hypotension similar to those in humans.

Researching blood pressure to find a way to handle it is very important when people want to travel to Mars or beyond to settle on other planets.
