Published on Feb 14, 2013

February is heart health month, not only on Earth, but in space as well. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is the test subject for two Canadian experiments, BP Reg and Vascular, projects that monitor the effects of weightlessness on the cardiovascular system. In this video Hadfield describes BP Reg, which is lead by Dr. Richard Hughson of the University of Waterloo. Results of these experiments could help us to better understand the human cardiovascular system and mechanisms that lead to fainting, which in turn could help reduce injury especially for the elderly.
