Hypertension risk from iron brake particulate matter
William J Rowe
Medical University of Ohio, USA
Of 12 moon walkers, James Irwin on day after return
from Apollo 15 mission, showed extraordinary bicycle
(B) stress test (ST) hypertension (275/125) after 3 minutes
exercise; supervising > 5000 maximum treadmill ST, author
never witnessed ST- blood pressure approaching this level.
Symptom-limited maximum B stress test showed “cyanotic
fingernails”; possibly venous blood trapped peripherally,
supporting author’s “Apollo 15 Space Syndrome,”
postulating that severe fingertip pain during space walks,
triggered by plasma fluid, trapped distally; mechanism
could be related to endothelial dysfunction, providing
“silent ischemia” warning. Neil Armstrong returned
to Earth with severe diastolic hypertension (160/135),
consistent with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction; 50
mm increase in comparison with resting BP 110/85. With
inhalation of lunar dust, brought into habitat on space
suit, with high lunar iron (I) this dust inhalation, along
with reduced (R) space flight- transferrin, R antioxidant,
calcium (Ca) blocker - magnesium, conducive to severe
oxidative stress, Ca overload with potential endothelial
injuries. Using moon walker studies as example, my recent
editorials show that I dust, released from brakes, with over
90% of brakes made of I, is a major hypertension factor and
may also contribute to myocardial infarctions.
Biography
William J Rowe is a board certified specialist in Internal Medicine. He
received his M.D. at the University of Cincinnati and was in private
practice in Toledo, Ohio for 34 years. During that time he supervised
over 5000 symptom - limited maximum hospital-based treadmill stress
tests. He studied 3 world class extraordinary endurance athletes and
published their exercise-related magnesium deficiencies. This triggered
a 20 year pursuit of the cardiovascular complications of Space flight.
He has published in LANCET that extraordinary, unremitting endurance
exercise can injure a perfectly normal heart. Of only 4 space syndromes,
he has published 2: "The Apollo 15 Space Syndrome" and "Neil
Armstrong Syndrome." All his publications are posted on his website
(HYPERLINK " ).
