A Tibetan with chronic mountain sickness followed by high altitude pulmonary edema on reentry.

Abstract:

:Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) each occur rarely in Tibetans, and they have previously not been reported in the same person. Here we describe a 37-year-old native Tibetan man with CMS at 4300 m, who developed HAPE after his return home from a 12-day visit to sea level. Possible common pathogenetic factors included a poor ventilatory response to hypoxia, accentuated hypoxemia, pulmonary hypertension, and increased blood volume. In addition, strenuous exercise and high levels (to approximately 1000 ng/L) of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide may have contributed to HAPE.
