Exaggerated. Pulmonary Hypertension During Mild Exercise in Chronic Mountain Sickness.

The article presents a study on the association of mild exercise to pulmonary hypertension in chronic mountain sickness (CMS). It says that pulmonary hypertension causes morbidity and mortality of CMS patients which is relatively mild. An echocardiography is made to estimate the pulmonary artery pressure in mild bicycle exercise of 30 male patients. Results explain why pulmonary hypertension is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in CMS patients due to large pulmonary artery pressure.
