AbstractBackground: Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) has been posited as a potential spaceflight countermeasure to counteract the physiological deconditioning related to fluid shifts in microgravity. However, open questions remain as to the magnitude of LBNP that should be applied. We systematically characterized the cardiovascular effects of LBNP and quantified the effect size of varied LBNP doses across different parts of the cardiovascular system.
