Brief Summary:
Randomized crossover Trial in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH, CTEPH) to assess the acute response to simulated altitude (FiO2:15.1, equivalent to 2500m above sea level) on cognitive functions.
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 under simulated altitude (FiO2: 15.1% with the "AMC Altitrainer") and shamed altitude with the same device.
During the exposure to simulated altitude (FiO2: 15.1%) of approximately 1 hour, the participants will perform cognitive function test .
The results will be compared under hypoxic and normal conditions.
