No results posted yet for this study

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) on heart rate and Ventilation changes under exercise.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Hypertension

Interventions

DEVICE

Simulated Altitude: (FiO2: 15.1)

Inhalation of deoxygenated air through an altitude simulator ("Altitrainer") for approximately 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.
