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 are conducive to severe
oxidative stress. Ca overload with potential endothelial injuries. Using moon
walker studies as example, my recent editorials show that iron 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, MD FBIS (Fellow British Interplanetary Society),
FACN (Fellow American College of Nutrition, Retired Fellow
Royal Society of Medicine), is a board certified Specialist in
Internal Medicine. He received his MD from 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
has studied three 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 The Lancet
that extraordinary, unremitting endurance exercise can injure
a perfectly normal heart. Of only four space syndromes, he
has published two: "The Apollo 15 Space Syndrome" and "Neil
Armstrong Syndrome". He has been listed in the Marquis Who's
Who of the World from 2002-2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,
2017, and 2018.
