Condition: Hypoxia
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Characterizing the Repeatability and Reproducibility of Cardiovascular Responses to Hypoxic Apneas
Brief Summary:
Apneas (breath-holds) are increasingly being tested in human subjects to understand how the human body operates.Apneas decrease heart rate and increase blood pressure.These findings are driving current research into the effects of oxygen concentrations on the heart rate and blood pressure responses to apneas and the effect of breath-hold training on these responses.The interest in apnea research is three-fold:Apneas are a nervous system stressor that can help researchers better understand the fundamental operation…
