Figure 1 PASP response to prolonged hypoxia. Discrimination between controls and HAPE-S subjects by their PASP response to hypoxia estimated by Doppler-echocardiography. HAPE-S, subjects susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema (n = 9); CONTROLS, control subjects (n = 11). The study was discontinued at 55 min of hypoxia in one control subject. No significant differences at rest between both groups (p = 0.36). *PASP in HAPE-S subjects compared with control subjects at 45 (p = 0.0012), 90 (p = 0.0016) and 240 (p < 0.02) min of hypoxia.
