Carotid wall structure during and after 6 months of spaceflight
Changes in CC posterior wall IMT and IR that persisted at R+4 but normalized at R+6 m suggest structural or content modifications of the vessel wall. In contrast, the early recovery of neck muscle and posterior wall intima IR at R+4 suggests a transient process that is possibly related to microgravity-induced fluid shifts.
