Increased lung vasoreactivity in children from Leadville, Colorado, after recovery from high-altitude pulmonary edema

James W. Fasules, James W. Wiggins, Robert R. WolfeUniversity of Colorado School of Medicine.United States CirculationCirculation 1985; 72: 957-962DOI: 10.1161/01.cir.72.5.957 AbstractCardiac catheterization was performed on seven children after recovery from high-altitude pulmonary edema. All were life-long residents at elevations above 10,000 feet. Three of the seven had developed pulmonary edema without antecedent travel to low altitude […]
