Types of Cardiac Arrhythmia Resulting From Centrifugal Acceleration: An Overview of the Effects of Centrifuge Forces on the Heart
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the many health conditions that form the basis of aviation medicine. The absence of adequate information around the condition necessitates studies to that effect. The current paper sought to determine the types of cardiac arrhythmias that may result from aviation related forces. The study relied on findings made in centrifugal training experiments, where subjects were placed in a human centrifuge and exposed to +Gz forces, similar to the motion in a high performance military jet. During such exercises, the tolerance level of the subjects was determined relative to the G-forces. It was found that sinus arrhythmia, premature atrial contraction, premature ventricle contraction, and atrial fibrillation are the common cardiac arrhythmias during such exercises.
