Space radiation (IR) from Solar Particle Events (SPE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR), also known as high charge and energy (HZE) IR, is a primary risk associated with deep-space missions. There are limited animal and human studies on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) development due to space-IR. The cardiac effects induced by space-type IR, specifically simplified GCR simulated (simGCRsim)-IR, are yet to be discovered. We hypothesized that gamma (γ) and simGCRsim IR-induced biological ...
