Chronic Mountain Sickness (Cms) Misdiagnosed As High Altitude Cerebral Edema (Hace) At Extreme Altitude (6400 M/21000 Ft)
Introduction: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) represents a syndrome of secondary polycythemia along with thrombocytopenia, altered hemorheology, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, and congestive heart failure, occurring due to hypobaric hypoxia-anoxia-induced erythropoiesis reported in both native mountain residents and new climbers after prolonged stays at high and extreme a...
متن کاملHigh-altitude disorders: pulmonary hypertension: pulmonary vascular disease: the global perspective.
Globally, it is estimated that > 140 million people live at a high altitude (HA), defined as > 2,500 m (8,200 ft), and that countless others sojourn to the mountains for work, travel, and sport. The distribution of exposure to HA is worldwide, including 35 million in the Andes and > 80 million in Asia, including China and central Asia. HA stress primarily is due to the hypoxia of low atmospheri...
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 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 کاملCurrent prevention and management of acute mountain sickness.
Acute mountain sickness was known to the Chinese in ancient times, as they traversed mountain passes between the Great Headache and Little Headache mountains into present-day Afghanistan. The Jesuit priest, Father Joseph Acosta, lived in Peru during the sixteenth century; he described both this syndrome and deaths which occurred in the high Andes. The incidence of high-altitude illness will ris...
متن کاملAbnormal energy regulation in early life: childhood gene expression may predict subsequent chronic mountain sickness
BACKGROUND Life at altitude depends on adaptation to ambient hypoxia. In the Andes, susceptibility to chronic mountain sickness (CMS), a clinical condition that occurs to native highlanders or to sea level natives with prolonged residence at high altitude, remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that hypoxia-associated gene expression in children of men with CMS might identify markers that p...
