Hypertension risk from iron brake particulate matter
William J Rowe
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
three 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, author’s 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 FBIS (Fellow British Interplanetary Soci-
ety), FACN (Fellow American College of Nutrition, Retired Fel-
low Royal Society of Medicine), is a board certified specialist
in Internal Medicine. He has received his MD at the University
of Cincinnati and was in private practice in Toledo, Ohio for 34
years. During that time he supervised over 5000 symptom-lim-
ited maximum hospital-based treadmill stress tests. He stud-
ied 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.
