Sleep-Assessment in Patients Between High Altitude HA vs. Sea Level LA in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension PAH

31. august 2026 oppdatert av: Silvia Ulrich Somaini

Effect of a One-week Descent From 2850m to Sea Level and Re-ascent in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Healthy Controls Permanently Living > 2600m on Pulmonary Hemodynamics, Exercise Capacity, Blood Oxygenation, Sleep Disordered Breathing and Further Outcomes

To study the effect of relocation from high altitude (Quito Ecuador: 2850m) to sea level on sleeping parameters by polygraphy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH, who live permanently >2600m.

Studieoversikt

Detaljert beskrivelse

The aim of this research is to investigate sleeping parameters by polygraphy before and after relocation (high altitude near their living altitude vs. sea level) in patients with diagnosed pulmonary arterial hypertension according to guidelines, who permanently live at high altitude over 2600m
