Adequate exercise response at artificial altitude in Fontan patients

Adequate exercise response at artificial altitude in Fontan patients

PurposeFor Fontan-palliated patients, altitude exposure is still a part of discussion since the extent of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction potentially resulting in decreasing cardiac output (Qc), especially during physical exercise, is still unclear. We investigated the effects of normobaric hypox...
