The 2008 report stated that the evidence report "describes a necessary, but not sufficient, overall approach to the provisioning of autonomous health care resources and, at least as importantly, the enumeration of conditions that will be left untreated during exploration-class missions." This assessment remains true of the current report. SUMMARY This is the fifth of five letter reports that have reviewed the series of NASA's evidence reports on human health risks.

From page 36... ...
In two of the areas reviewed -- cardiac rhythm problems and renal stone formation -- the reports convey a traditional view of underlying physiology that has been substantially revised by contemporary medical science, and thus a more substantial reformulation of these risk reports is warranted. In particular, the arrhythmia report should be refocused to incorporate current understanding of which mechanisms of arrhythmia cause clinically insignificant arrhythmias and to add a more comprehensive description of other cardiac risks.
