Yes, this is because there is no gravity for your heart t fight againts while it is pumping blood to the head. This is likely similar to when you stand upside down and the blood rushes to your head. And so as less force is required the muslce starts to deteriorate, of course it is still nesessary and increased peripheral resistance will mean it still required quite alot of force so it might not be a drastic as youd think, probably about as much as an athlete taking a few weeks off and jsut chilling. Interestingly reinsertion into the normal environment (earth) causes autonomic changes that can challenge the adaptions of peripheral resistance and may lead to an ailment called presyncope.

What happens to muscle and bones in space?

the astronaut heart and muscles and bones shrink and get weaker ...this because: the earth's gravitational pull is strong so the heart pumps blood harder than it needs to in space so when a astronaut is in orbit it doesn't need to work so hard so they shrink. hope this helps.

What happens to an astronauts heart while there space?

In space, an astronaut's heart experiences several changes due to the microgravity environment. The heart may become more spherical in shape, and its pumping efficiency can decrease as the body adapts to the lack of gravity. Additionally, astronauts often experience alterations in heart rhythm and blood volume, which can affect cardiovascular health over extended missions. These changes necessitate careful monitoring and exercise regimens to maintain heart health during and after spaceflight.
