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, ...
