Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the clinical and physiologic course of Kyrgyz highlanders with high altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) by performing a longitudinal cohort study. To this end, the investigators will invite the same highlanders who participate din the study in 2017 to undergo follow-up examinations in 2024, in order to allow comparisons of current results with baseline data from 2017.
