Popis: To evaluate functional myocardial contractility after 21 days of head-down bed rest (HDBR) in sedentary control (CON) or with a resistive vibration exercise (RVE) countermeasure (CM) applied, by using 4D echocardiographic (4D echo) imaging and speckle tracking strain quantification. Twelve volunteers were enrolled in a crossover HDBR design, and 4D echo was performed in supine position (REST) at BDC-2 and at R + 2, and in − 6° HDT at day 18, and during the first and the last minute of the 80° head-up step of tilt test performed at both BDC-2 and R + 2. Radial (Rad-Str), longitudinal (Lg-Str) and twist (Tw-Str) strains were measured by 4D speckle tracking, as well as left ventricle diastolic volume (LVDV) and mass (LVmass). On HDT 18: in the CON group, LVDV and LVmass were reduced (p
