Fritsch-Yelle JM, Leuenberger UA, D'Aunno DS, Rossum AC, Brown TE, Wood ML, Josephson ME, Goldberger AL. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas 77058, USA. An episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia was recorded from a crew member during the second month aboard the MIR space station.
