The effects of low altitude on isolated mammalian arteries, intact murine circulation, and as a therapy for myocardial infarction and hindlimb ischemia in mice
DownloadFall 2019
Humans residing at low and moderate altitudes (500 m - 3000 m above sea level) have a lower risk of dying from many cardiovascular diseases in comparison to sea level residents [1-3]. We hypothesized the lowered barometric pressure at these altitudes enhances vasodilation in the systemic...
