Space Flight and Lunar Dust Hypertension
Journal Title: Journal of Hypertension and Management - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
As a member of a North American Fitness Delegation to China in 1988, with an invitation to present a paper in Guangzhou, I chose as a role model Sy Mah, holder of the Guinness Book of Records for having completed 524 marathons. Mah, a professor of physical education at the University of Toledo, was on a sabbatical in Boston and drove all night for his stress test in the morning; it was very abnormal with evidence of severe ischemia. Because of time constraints, I took him to the Medical College at the University of Toledo later in the afternoon for a repeat stress test in conjunction with a maximum oxygen uptake; to my surprise, the stress test was now perfectly normal; this was consistent with coronary vasospasm possibly triggered by a calcium overload, secondary to a reduction of magnesium (Mg).
