Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction and Aims: Short-duration spaceflight induces rapid cardiovascular adaptation, yet high-resolution 24-hour autonomic and vascular data remain limited. We evaluated whether a multimodal wearable device combined with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can detect hemodynamic and autonomic adaptation during an 18-day mission on the Internation Space Station.

Methods: A longitudinal within-subject design with ground-based control was implemented. Continuous 24-hour ECG and photoplethysmography were recorded using a wearable smart garment; oscillometric ABPM recorded blood pressure and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Sessions occurred pre-flight (L-29, -24, -9), in-flight (L+4, L+10), and post-flight (R+1, R+4). Time-varying HRV was analyzed via time-domain (RMSSD), frequency-domain (LF, HF, LF/HF), and non-linear indices (DFA alpha 1, deceleration/acceleration capacity). Linear mixed-effects modeling compared phase-related changes relative to control.

Results: PWV declined during daytime (6.1±0.37 to 5.7±0.34 m/s) and night (5.7±0.29 to 5.4±0.38 m/s; p=0.027), with no significant changes in systolic or diastolic BP. HRV analysis showed reduced mean HR (day: 72.8±2.6 to 58.3±3.7 bpm; night: 60.9±3.1 to 49.1±1.3 bpm; p=0.045) and increased RMSSD (day: 31.5±2.6 to 35.4±5.8 ms; night: 36.7±7.2 to 41±13.4 ms; p=0.045). LF power decreased (day: 89.5 ±1.6n.u. to 78.7 ±1.82n.u.; night: 86.8 ±1.6n.u. to 77.3 ±0.1n.u.; p=0.014), HF increased (day: 12.3 ±7.25n.u. to 23.7 ±10.4n.u.; night: 16 ±6.4n.u. to 26.7 ±15.05n.u.; p=0.01), and LF/HF decreased (p<0.001). Deceleration capacity increased (p=0.045), and acceleration capacity was reduced (p=0.045). Autonomic indices confirmed increased parasympathetic activity (day: -0.7±0.2 vs. 0.3±0.5; night: 0.12±0.4 vs. 1.4±0.3; p=0.01). No significant changes persisted post-flight.

Conclusion: Integrated 24-hour monitoring revealed coordinated autonomic and hemodynamic adaptation characterized by parasympathetic predominance and reduced arterial stiffness consistent with cephalad fluid shift. The study demonstrates the feasibility of continuous, non-invasive cardiovascular telemetry for operational spaceflight missions.
