Background: High-altitude cardiovascular adaptations increase lung pressure. This effect on the right ventricle (RV) of transplanted hearts at altitudes above 2,500 meters above sea level (masl) has not been described.
Objective: The objective of the study was to describe echocardiography RV behavior in the immediate post-operative period (Days 1-7 post-Heart transplant [HTx]), 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after HTx in patients at 2640 masl.
