Description
Deep space travel strains the heart in ways still unclear. Agnieszka Brojakowska leads a 2026 review of heart risks for Moon and Mars crews. Space flight brings weightlessness and strong radiation. Long trips add isolation, poor sleep, and scant medical help.
Known effects include rhythm faults and stiffer blood vessels. Control of blood pressure by nerves also shifts. A body-wide inflammatory state may develop. What these changes mean over years away from Earth is unknown. Particle radiation from deep space adds new danger. The review gathers all known risks in one place. Planners can use it to design safeguards for long missions.
