Scientists simulate mountain climbing to test heart stress in former altitude sickness patients
NCT ID NCT07431554
Summary
This study aims to understand how the right side of the heart responds to low oxygen levels, like those found at high altitudes. Researchers will simulate altitudes up to 4,000 meters for 18 adults who have previously had high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), measuring heart function at rest and during light exercise. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to better safety advice for people with heart or lung conditions who visit the mountains.
