This short course review the known affects on heart and cardiac tissue caused by exposure to the microgravity environment and galactic space radiation (GSR).  The course is structured to introduce participants to the biological consequences of space travel, as well as refreshing ECG knowledge and applying that to biological changes encountered by astronauts.

This course is resource rich with video tutorials covering microgravity affects on cardiac tissue, G-Forces, radiation and cellular changes.  In addition there are high quality peer reviewed papers and research for participants to gain an understanding of a multi-factorial complex human space flight problem, that is not yet adequately resolved with our current technology.    

• Understand the clinical affect of microgravity on the heart
• Analyse possible cellular changes in cardiac tissue
• Appreciate the physiological challenges to human space flight
