Using Echocardiography to Study the Effects of Hypoxia and Altitude on Heart Function
Echocardiography is a useful tool for evaluating left and right cardiac ventricular function. The right ventricle, both in its systolic and diastolic function, was the most affected during a simulated hypobaric and hypoxic flight.
