Summary
This study looked at 24 people with high altitude pulmonary hypertension who live above 2500 meters. Researchers measured how far they could walk in 6 minutes at their high-altitude home (3200m) and after moving to a low-altitude city (760m). The goal was to see if the change in altitude improves their walking distance and oxygen levels.
