First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles low oxygen (like at high altitudes) in 18 adults who have previously had HAPE (high-altitude pulmonary edema). Participants breathe special gas mixtures to simulate altitudes of 2,500 and 4,000 meters while resting and doing light exercise. The goal is to understand heart strain and help doctors better support patients with a history of HAPE.
