Exaggerated exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension causes lung water accumulation and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic mountain sickness
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction in young offspring of mothers with preeclampsia
(Circulation, 2010-07-19)
Background—Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The underlying mechanisms are unknown. During preeclampsia, vasculotoxic factors are released into the maternal circulation by the ...
Chronic mountain sickness, optimal hemoglobin and heart disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2006-06)
Abstract.
For the male inhabitants of La Paz, Bolivia
(3200–4100 m), and other high altitude regions in America and Asia, chronic mountain sickness
(CMS) is a major health problem. Since CMS was first described by Carlos ...
RV contractility and exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension in chronic mountain sickness : a stress echocardiographic and tissue doppler imaging study
(ELSEVIER, 2013-12)
Objectives.
The aim of this study was to evaluate right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular function
and pulmonary circulation in chronic mountain sickness (CMS) patients with rest and stress echocardiography compared ...
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. ...
Nuevos mecanismos para hipertensión arterial pulmonar en la altura
(COLEGIO MEDICO DE BOLIVIA, 2016-02)
RESUMEN.
Durante la última década el alcance de la investigación en la altura se ha ampliado considerablemente. Dos importantes observaciones han generado este avance; Primero, el hecho de que el edema pulmonar agudo de ...
Aymara children are protected from high-altitude-induced pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of the adaptation to ambient lack of oxygen. This assumption is also
thought to hold true for high-altitude native children,
since invasive studies showed elevated pulmonary-artery
pressure ...
Consensus statement on chronic and subacute high altitude diseases
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005)
ABSTRACT.
This is an international consensus statement of an ad hoc committee formed by the In
ternational Society for Mountain Medicine (ISMM) at the VI World Congress on Mountain Med
icine and High Altitude Physiology ...
Respiratory nitric oxide and pulmonary artery pressure in children of aymara and european ancestry at high altitude*
(CHEST, 2008-11-07)
Invasive studies suggest that healthy children living at high altitude display pulmonary hypertension, but the data to support this assumption are sparse. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by the
respiratory epithelium regulates ...
Regional distribution of pulmonary blood flow in normal high-altitude dwellers at 3,650 m (12,200 ft)
(Respiration, 1975)
Abstract. Simultaneous isotope dilution curves were recorded from the right upper (QRUZ) and
right lower lung zones (QRLZ) by surface scanning in the sitting and recumbent positions in 15 normal high-altitude-born (HAD) ...
