High Altitude and Cancer Mortality.

abstract：:Frequency of therapeutic beta-blocker use in elderly mountaineers is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this field study was to measure the regular beta-blocker intake in elderly persons visiting moderate altitudes. In a subset of mountaineers on beta-blockers, exercise response at two different altitude levels was compar...
