متن کاملThe heart and pulmonary circulation at high altitudes: healthy highlanders and chronic mountain sickness.
More than 140 million people worldwide live >2500 m above sea level. Of them, 80 million live in Asia, and 35 million live in the Andean mountains. This latter region has its major population density living above 3500 m. The primary objective of the present study is to review the physiology, pathology, pathogenesis, and clinical features of the heart and pulmonary circulation in healthy highlan...
متن کاملChronic Mountain Sickness
Introduction Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) affects people who are native or long time residents of high altitude. It is characterized by an excessive erythrocytosis for the altitude of residence, severe hypoxemia and in many cases, particularly in severe CMS, high altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). CMS usually begins insidiously in adult life associated probably to aging; the clinical pi...
متن کاملChronic mountain sickness.

متن کاملCarotid baroreflex regulation of vascular resistance in high-altitude Andean natives with and without chronic mountain sickness.
We investigated carotid baroreflex control of vascular resistance in two groups of high-altitude natives: healthy subjects (HA) and a group with chronic mountain sickness (CMS), a maladaptation condition characterized by high haematocrit values and symptoms attributable to chronic hypoxia. Eleven HA controls and 11 CMS patients underwent baroreflex testing, using the neck collar method in which...
