[Dynamic structure of the cardiac rhythm in the process of adapting to high-altitude hypoxia]
Abstract:
On the basis of dynamic series of RR intervals of electrocardiograms of healthy male test subjects exposed for a different period of time to high altitude hypoxia, autoregression clouds were built. The patterns of distribution thus obtained were compared with physical work capacity of the test subjects. It is suggested that when selecting people to work actively at high altitudes autoregression clouds can be used as quantitative estimates of their health state and as predictions of potential adaptation failures.

Specialized Characteristics of Cardiac Muscles
Cardiac muscle cells are smaller than skeletal muscles, averaging 10–20 mm in diameter and 50–100 mm in length. However, they have large energy demands for continuous contraction and relaxation. This energy is almost exclusively derived from aerobic metabolism of energy reserves in...
