Mountain air mystery: can altitude harm pregnancy?
NCT ID NCT02391519
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why pregnant women living at high altitudes have higher rates of preeclampsia and poor fetal growth. Researchers will collect tissue samples from women having scheduled C-sections in Denver (low altitude) and Summit County (high altitude) to compare how their blood vessels respond. The goal is to understand the link between altitude and pregnancy complications, not to test a new treatment.
