Long term effects of g force, any research?
My dad suffered a major brain bleed several years ago when he was in his mid -60s. I've often wondered if repeated exposure to high g-forces during his years as a test and aerobatic pilot could have been the cause. As he ages and his health deterioriates, the quality of his and my mom's live has greatly diminished. He may be elegible for some extra funding from Veteran's Affairs to make their lives a little easier if we can show that the stroke was related to his work. There seems to be lots of research into the short-term effects of g-force on the bodies of pilots, but I haven't found anything about long term effect, especially cardiovascular or just vascular. Has anyone here come across work done in this area? Thanks, PilotsDaughter
