Over the last 100 years, high‐altitude researchers have amassed a comprehensive
understanding of the global cardiac responses to acute, prolonged and lifelong hypoxia …

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect of acute
poikilocapnic, high-altitude, and acute isocapnia hypoxemia on muscle sympathetic nerve …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a major classic therapeutic target for cardiovascular
diseases. In addition to the circulating RAS, local tissue RAS has been identified in various …

Background To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of atrial fibrillation
(AF) among the general population in high-altitude areas. Methodology A web-based cross …

Background High-altitude populations exhibit distinct cellular, respiratory, and
cardiovascular phenotypes, some of which provide adaptive advantages to hypoxic …

Studies of animals native to high altitude can provide valuable insight into physiological
mechanisms and evolution of performance in challenging environments. We investigated …

Periodic breathing during sleep at high altitude is almost universal among sojourners. Here,
in the context of acclimatization and adaptation, we provide a contemporary review on …

Purpose Both prolonged exercise and acute high-altitude exposure are known to induce
cardiac changes. We sought to describe the cardiac responses to speed climbing at high …

Purpose Autonomic control of the heart is balanced by sympathetic and parasympathetic
inputs. Excitation of both sympathetic and parasympathetic systems occurs concurrently …

During hypoxic exposure, humans with high-affinity hemoglobin (and compensatory
polycythemia) have blunted increases in heart rate compared with healthy humans with …
