Figure 1 Individual Response of  pTR
Individual response of pressure gradient across tricuspid valve (pTR) at low altitude from rest to low-intensity exercise (Ex1 = 20% and Ex2 = 40%, respectively, of previously tested maximal exercise capacity) in high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)-susceptible subjects (right) compared with control subjects (non-HAPE). Red dotted lines indicate approximate upper limit of normal during exercise.
