As a result of increased pulmonary resistance, right ventricular morphology and function are altered in COPD patients. High altitude and related hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction, thereby affecting the right ventricle. We aimed to investigate the combined effects of COPD and altitude-related chronic hypoxia on right ventricular morphology and function.Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseArticleWOS:0003145570000068487241910110.1016/j.hlc.2012.08.004
