Systemic Blood Predictors of Elevated Pulmonary Artery Pressure Assessed by Non-invasive Echocardiography After Acute Exposure to High Altitude: A Prospective Cohort Study
AimElevated pulmonary artery pressure (ePAP) in response to high-altitude hypoxia is a critical physiopathological factor in the hypoxic adaptation that may lead to high-altitude pulmonary edema in the acute phase or high-altitude pulmonary hypertension in the long term. However, the sea-level predi...
