Relationships Between Chemoreflex Responses, Sleep Quality, and Hematocrit in Andean Men and Women

Relationships Between Chemoreflex Responses, Sleep Quality, and Hematocrit in Andean Men and Women

Andean highlanders are challenged by chronic hypoxia and many exhibit elevated hematocrit (Hct) and blunted ventilation compared to other high-altitude populations. While many Andeans develop Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS) and excessive erythrocytosis, Hct varies markedly within Andean men and wome...
