Abstract:
An episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia was recorded from a crew member during the second month aboard the MIR space station. Although asymptomatic, this cardiac event increases the concern that serious cardiac dysrhythmias may be a limiting factor during long-duration spaceflight.
