Abstract:
From previous studies, the right heart is considered less critical than the left heart in maintaining normal global hemodynamic performance. However, there is now substantial evidence underscoring the importance of comprehensive right ventricular (RV) function. Acute hypoxia is associated with an increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), leading to changes in RV hemodynamics. Moreover, hypoxia may directly affect the RV. The current literature assessing the impact of acute hypoxia on RV hemodynamics remains insufficiently elucidated. This paper aims to delineate the effects of acute hypoxia exposure on the RV in healthy individuals.
