Summary

Randomized crossover trial in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH, CTEPH) to assess the acute response to simulated altitude (FiO2:15.1, equivalent to 2500m above sea level) in constant loaded exercise capacity.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Hypertension

Interventions

DEVICE

Simulated Altitude (FiO2: 15.1%)

Inhalation of deoxygenated air through a altitude simulator ("Altitrainer"), for approx. 1 hour. given by a facemask.

DEVICE

Shamed Hypoxia (FiO2: 20.9)

Inhalation of unmodified air through an altitude Simulator ("Altitrainer") for approximately 1 hour given by a facemask
