متن کاملHigh-altitude pulmonary hypertension.
High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) is a specific disease affecting populations that live at high elevations. The prevalence of HAPH among those residing at high altitudes needs to be further defined. Whereas reduction in nitric oxide production may be one mechanism for the development of HAPH, the roles of endothelin-1 and prostaglandin I₂ pathways in the pathogenesis of HAPH deserve f...
متن کاملHigh Altitude Pulmonary Edema
Over the last three decades, increased awareness and education have lessened the instances of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) encountered by otherwise healthy, active sojourners to high altitude.

متن کاملHigh altitude-induced pulmonary oedema.
Almost one mountain trekker or climber out of two develops several symptoms of high altitude illness after a rapid ascent (> 300 m/day) to an altitude above 4000 m. Individual susceptibility is the most important determinant for the occurrence of high altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE). Symptoms associated with HAPE are incapacitating fatigue, chest tightness, dyspnoea at the slightest effort, or...
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...
