Overview: Optimize cardiac care for patients exposed to mountain altitudes
Millions of travellers, athletes, and residents face cardiovascular challenges at high altitude each year, yet clinicians often lack specialized guidance for these patients. High Altitude Cardiology provides a comprehensive review of cardiac physiology and pathology related to altitude exposure. Written by a specialist in preventive cardiology and mountain medicine education, this reference synthesizes current knowledge for optimal patient care.
The book examines cardiac adaptations in both normal and diseased hearts, covering hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular conditions at altitude. Specialized chapters address considerations for pregnancy, paediatric & geriatric patients, and congenital heart diseases.
