Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol. 2005 Jul;10(3):363-70. (HSR&T PIs: G.H. Williams and R.J. Cohen) Note (#1) From abstract: "HDTB (head-down tilt bed rest) leads to an increase in MTWA (microvolt T wave alternans), providing the first evidence that simulated microgravity has a measurable effect on electrical repolarization processes. Possible contributing factors include loss in potassium and changes in sympathetic function."
