First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looks at how a healthy heart, especially the right side, reacts when there is less oxygen in the air, like at high altitudes. 18 healthy adults will breathe special gas mixtures that mimic altitudes of 2,500 and 4,000 meters, both at rest and during light exercise. The goal is to understand normal heart responses so doctors can better support people with heart or lung conditions who want to enjoy mountain activities.
