Cardiac Adaptation to Prolonged High Altitude Migration Assessed by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

Cardiac Adaptation to Prolonged High Altitude Migration Assessed by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

ObjectiveExposure to high altitudes represents physiological stress that leads to significant changes in cardiovascular properties. However, long-term cardiovascular adaptions to high altitude migration of lowlanders have not been described. Accordingly, we measured changes in cardiovascular propert...
