Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 m) residents in the absence o lung disease
(Health & height proceeding, 2002)
Summary.
Chronic mountain sickness is present in about 8% of the male population of La Paz. Our question was whether its principal diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP) without lung disease could be found already ...
Chronic mountain sickness and cor pulmonale La Paz-Bolivia (3,600-4,100 m)
(Life on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau, 2007)
Summary.
Among the majority of inhabitants of La Paz-Bolivia (3,200-4,100 m.), the mild elevation seen in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) has no clinical significance and is reversible on descent to lower altitude or with ...

(American Journal of Human Biology, 2010)
Abstract.
Thirty-two polymorphic Alu insertions (18 autosomal and 14 from the X chromosome) were studied in
192 individuals from two Amerindian populations of the Bolivian Altiplano (Aymara and Quechua speakers: the two ...
Perinatal origins of chronic mountain sickness : the role of perinatal hypoxia in the development of CMS
(Meeting VII Congress World Medicine and Physiology High Altitude, 2011)
Protective effect of female sex hormones against pulmonary hypertension in Bolivian high altitude natives
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
There is abundant evidence that female sex hormones have protective effects in the systemic circulation in both animals and humans,
but little is known regarding their role in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation. ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons
without lung disease. Methods: ...
Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
Abstract.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
Role of cytokines in altitude-associated preeclampsia
(Pregnancy Hypertens, 2012-01)
Abstract.
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is more common at high than low altitude and contributes
to the altitude-related decline in birth weight. Since inflammatory markers are implicated
in PE, we asked if such markers ...
