Official Title: Measurement of Cardiopulmonary Variables in a Large Group of Healthy Subjects With Acute Exposure to High Altitude

Brief Summary: As altitude increases, the availability of oxygen in the air decreases, and just to compensate for this lack, the body increases cardiac and respiratory work and changes blood pressure.But that is not all: at altitude the body's ability to use oxygen is also limited.Thus, there is on one hand less oxygen available, and on the other a lower capacity to use it.All this generates significant alterations at the cardiovascular level, to the point of running possible risks of heart attack, stroke and acute…
