Article Synopsis
- High altitude can reduce oxygen levels, causing problems like shortness of breath and fatigue for some people.
- A special test called Hypoxic Simulation Testing (HST) was used to see how the heart reacts to lower oxygen levels.
- The study found that many patients had increased pressure in their heart, and some even had blood flow issues only noticed during low oxygen conditions, which could explain their breathing problems at high altitudes.
