Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants will include normally physically active males and females (age 50-70 years; New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I and II) with or without prior myocardial infarction, living <600 m.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Persons with CAD will be excluded if they will not be able to perform light to moderate exercise, or had recent myocardial infarction and/or revascularisation (< 8 weeks prior to inclusion in the study), episode of unstable angina, de-compensated heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmia, ejection fraction < 50%, known symptomatic aortic outflow obstruction, severe hypertension (>180/100 mm Hg), pulmonary hypertension or any other severe systemic non-cardiac disease. Exclusion criteria will additionally include regular smoking of more than five cigarettes per day, regular drug intake, habitual residence > 600 m and one or more overnight stay at > 1000 m during the previous 4 weeks.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intermittent hypoxia (IH) pre-conditioning
The IH pre-conditioning program will be performed in a sitting position by inhaling a gas mixture with reduced O2 content via face masks.The program will include five sessions per week for 3 weeks. Each session consists of three to five hypoxic (14-10% inspired fraction of oxygen) periods, each lasting 3-5 min with 3-min normoxic intervals. The control setting includes breathing room air via face mask. |
Administration of different hypoxic doses. Intermittent hypoxia: days 1-5 duration of breathing periods 5*3min (FiO2 14-21%) days 8-12 duration of breathing periods 4*4min (FiO2 = 12%) and 3*3 min (FiO2 = 21%) days 15-19 duration of breathing periods 5*5min (FiO2 = 10%) and 4*3 min (FiO2 = 21%) one night at 1900m |
Experimental: Hypoxia pre-adaptation
The hypoxia pre-adaptation program consists of sleeping 1 night at 1900m.
The control setting includes sleeping 1 night close to sea level.
