Right ventricular hypertrophy in guinea pigs exposed to simulated high altitude.

چکیده
UNDER conditions of chronic hypoxia, Van Liere reported enlargement of the heart and an increased heart weight-body weight ratio in rats. Using different technics, Takeuchi, Gremels and Starling and Stickney, Northup and Van Liere all reported dilatation of the heart in experimental acute hypoxia. Kerwin surveyed radiographically large numbers of Peruvian natives living at high altitudes in the Andes Mountains and reported that these individuals have significantly enlarged hearts. In comparing these individuals with those living at sea level, he suggested that perhaps racial and environmental factors may contribute to heart size, Rotta confirmed the work of Kerwin by presenting further radiological evidence of right ventricular hypertrophy by evaluating both chest roentgenographs and electrocardiographs. In the present investigation, guinea pigs born at sea level were submitted to simulated altitudes of 18,000 feet for studies with respect to changes in the cardiopulmonary system.
