Systemic vascular dysfunction in patients with chronic mountain sickness
(CHEST, 2012-01-01)
Background: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a major public health problem characterized by
exaggerated hypoxemia and erythrocytosis. In more advanced stages, patients with CMS often
present with functional and structural ...
Exercise induces rapid interstitial lung water accumulation in patients with chronic mountain sickness
(CHEST, 2012-04-04)
Background: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a major public health problem in mountainous
regions of the world. In its more advanced stages, exercise intolerance is often found, but the
underlying mechanism is not ...
Oxidative-nitrosative stress and systemic vascular function in highlanders with and without exaggerated hypoxemia
(CHEST, 2013-02-01)
Background: Acute exposure to high altitude stimulates free radical formation in lowlanders, yet
whether this persists during chronic exposure in healthy, well-adapted and maladapted highlanders suffering from chronic ...
Exaggerated pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction in high-altitude dwellers with patent foramen ovale
(Chest, 2015)
There is considerable interindividual variability in pulmonary artery pressure among high-altitude (HA) dwellers, but the underlying mechanism is not known. At low altitude, a patent foramen
ovale (PFO) is present in about ...
Sleep-disordered breathing and vascular function in patients with chronic mountain sickness and healthy high-altitude dwellers
(CHEST, 2016-11-05)
BACKGROUND: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is often associated with vascular
dysfunction, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)
frequently occurs at high altitude. At low altitude, ...
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 ...
