First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 27 pregnant women living at high altitude in Bolivia and compares them to women at sea level. Researchers will use heart ultrasounds and blood tests to see how the body adapts to low oxygen levels during pregnancy. The goal is to better understand why some women develop high blood pressure or have babies with poor growth at high altitudes.
