1HypoxiaHypoxia emerges as the predominant characteristic among individuals residing at high altitudes
2Exercise at high altitudeExercise training is advocated for enhancing adaptation to high altitude
3Pulmonary hypertensionPulmonary artery pressure increases at high altitude due to vasoconstriction
4Oxidative stressOxidative stress is activity at high altitude
5MetabolomicsMetabolomics has offered novel perspectives on the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie adaptations to early hypobaric hypoxia, as well as other diseases associated with tissue hypoxia
6Adaptation/acclimatizationAdaptation or acclimatization occurs in individuals residing at high altitudes for extended periods, including indigenous populations
7EchocardiographyEchocardiography serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac diseases in high-altitude environments
