Echocardiographic right ventricular outflow track notch formation and the incidence of acute mountain sickness.\n High Alt Med Biol<\/jats:italic>\n . 22:263\u2013273, 2021.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Background:<\/jats:title>\n High-altitude exposure causes acute mountain sickness (AMS) and increases pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). The notching of echocardiographic right ventricular outflow tract flow velocity envelope (right ventricular outflow tract [RVOT] notching), is related to increased PAP. We speculate that acute high-altitude exposure may trigger RVOT notching, which may be associated with AMS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n All 130 subjects, ascended to 4,100\u2009m from low altitude by bus within 7 days, underwent physiological and echocardiographic testing. The subjects with a total score of 3 or above and in the presence of a headache were diagnosed with AMS according to Lake Louise criteria.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n After high-altitude exposure, the incidence of RVOT notching and AMS was 20% and 28.5%, respectively. The subjects with AMS had a higher incidence (37.8%) of RVOT notching than those without AMS (12.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that RVOT notching was associated with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05\u20131.17;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001) and the occurrence of AMS (OR, 5.48; 95% CI, 1.96\u201315.35;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.001). Although linear regression analysis showed a weak correlation between SPAP and Lake Louise AMS score in the overall population (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.20,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.020), this correlation was more pronounced in the subpopulation with RVOT notching (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.44,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.023) and SPAP was not related to Lake Louise AMS score in the subpopulation without RVOT notching (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.03,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.698). Among AMS symptoms, the incidence of headache and fatigue were higher in subjects with RVOT notching than those in subjects without RVOT notching.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n \n We first observe that high-altitude exposure triggers RVOT notching formation, which is associated with AMS occurrence.
