Studies of the effects of chronic hypoxemia can be performed in the laboratory by decreasing either the concentration of inspired oxygen or the barometric pressure in a hypobaric chamber. [1] Nature has provided a third option, high altitude, which allows for the examination of the effects of chronic hypoxemia in individuals under varying conditions. [1]
Thus, studies of high-altitude physiologists are of interest not only to mountaineers and aviators but also to physicians. Knowledge gained on mountain peaks may give insight into the pathophysiology of patients with cyanotic heart disease and chronic lung disease
