Article Synopsis
- The study investigated thrombosis occurrence in healthy soldiers at high altitudes, finding significantly higher rates of both venous and arterial thrombosis compared to near-sea-level environments.
- Key physiological changes included increased coagulation factors and reduced levels of natural anticoagulants in those with thrombosis, alongside elevated inflammation and endothelial dysfunction markers.
- These findings suggest that altitude may exacerbate thrombosis risk due to distinct biological mechanisms, highlighting the need for further research and awareness in high-altitude environments.
