Abstract
Szymczak, Robert K., Magdalena Sawicka, and Małgorzata Jelitto. Recurrent pulmonary embolism at high altitude in a mountaineer with hereditary thrombophilia. High Alt Med Biol. 00:000-000, 2024.-It is speculated that high-altitude travel is an independent risk factor for thrombosis. Mountaineering-specific factors, such as hypoxia, cold, and immobilization, may interact with patient-specific risk factors and contribute to thrombus formation. We present the case of a mountaineer with hereditary thrombophilia who experienced recurrent pulmonary embolism during high-altitude expeditions.
Szymczak, Robert K., Magdalena Sawicka, and Małgorzata Jelitto.一名患有遗传性血栓性疾病的登山者在高海拔地区复发性肺栓塞。00:000-000, 2024.据推测,高海拔旅行是血栓形成的一个独立危险因素。登山运动特有的因素,如缺氧、寒冷和固定,可能与患者特有的风险因素相互作用,导致血栓形成。我们介绍了一名患有遗传性血栓性疾病的登山者在高海拔探险期间反复出现肺栓塞的病例。
期刊介绍:
High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
