Exposure to +Gz acceleration, orthostatic tilt tests and LBNP tests causes distinct blood shifts and deterioration of cerebral circulation. In this case syncope episodes may be prevented by continuous monitoring of circulation parameters, specifically arterial pressure (AP). Our investigations have shown that continuous AP measurement by the Penjaz noninvasive technique may help earlier prediction of the health status in response to gravity-induced blood shifts.
