NCT ID:
NCT03637166
Brief Summary:
Randomized crossover Trial in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH, CTEPH) to assess the acute response to High Altitude ("Säntis"; 2500m above sea level) on pulmonary artery pressure and right heart function (echo)
Detailed Description:
Low altitude baseline measurements will be performed in Zurich (460m asl) including Echocardiography, Right heart catheterization, six-minute walk test (6MWT), pulmonary function test, clinical assessment and blood gas Analysis.
Randomly assigned to the order of testing, the participants will be tested in Low Altitude (Zurich, 470m) and at High Altitude (2500m).
Several times within the exposure, the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and the right heart function will be assessed by echo.
