Summary

To study the effect of relocation from 3200 m (Aksay) to 760 m (Bishkek) in patients with high altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) who permanently live \>2500 m on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)

Detailed description

This research in highlanders with HAPH diagnosed by echocardiography and defined by a RV/RA \>30 mmHg who permanently live at HA \>2500 m will have pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) assessed by echocardiography near their living altitude in Aksay at 3200 m and at 760 m in Bishkek the day after the first and the seventh night after relocation.
