Preliminary Study of Right Ventricular Dyssynchrony Under High-Altitude Exposure: Determinants and Impacts

The aims of this study were to explore the effect of high-altitude (HA) exposure on the incidence, determinants, and impacts of right ventricular dyssynchrony (RVD). In our study, 108 healthy young men were enrolled, and physiological and echocardiographic variables were recorded at both sea level a...
