Impact of acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension on LV diastolic function in healthy mountaineers at high altitude.
In pulmonary hypertension right ventricular pressure overload leads to abnormal left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Acute high-altitude exposure is associated with hypoxia-induced elevation of pulmonary artery pressure particularly in the setting of high-altitude pulmonary edema. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) allows assessment of LV diastolic function by direct measurements of myocardial v...
متن کاملAltitude-dependent changes of directional hearing in mountaineers.
This study demonstrates apparent deterioration in the ability to localize sound associated with acute exposure to high altitude in ten subjects on three mountaineering expeditions. Furthermore, the auditory localization errors improved to sea level values after a period of acclimatization. Occurring at altitudes where overt neurological symptoms are not usually seen, impairment of sensory perce...
متن کاملHigh-altitude medicine: important for trekkers and mountaineers, essential for progress in medicine.
It is a pleasure to dedicate an issue of Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases to high-altitude medicine, and we gratefully thank the editors for giving us this opportunity. The readers will discover that the frontiers of highaltitude medicine are almost infinite and often extend to low altitude. Why is this so? Progress in medicine is intimately linked with the understanding of underlying mechan...
متن کاملAcute high-altitude sickness.
At any point 1-5 days following ascent to altitudes ≥2500 m, individuals are at risk of developing one of three forms of acute altitude illness: acute mountain sickness, a syndrome of nonspecific symptoms including headache, lassitude, dizziness and nausea; high-altitude cerebral oedema, a potentially fatal illness characterised by ataxia, decreased consciousness and characteristic changes on m...
