U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07431580) titled 'Effect of Acute Hypoxia on RIght VEntRicular Function in Asthma.' on Feb. 09.
Brief Summary: More and more people are engaging in sports in the mountains, including individuals with heart or lung diseases. At the same time, such diseases are becoming more common in Switzerland. At high altitude, less oxygen is available, which places stress on the body-particularly on the heart, which has to pump blood through the lungs.
