After high altitude (HA) acclimatization, resting is similar to that at SL, but it is unknown whether this is true during exercise at HA. We reasoned that exercise at HA (5050\u00a0m) would exacerbate as a result of heightened pulmonary arterial pressure. Using a supine cycle ergometer, seven healthy adults free from intracardiac shunts underwent an incremental exercise test at SL [25, 50 and 75% of SL peak oxygen consumption ()] and at HA (25 and 50% of SL ). Echocardiography was used to determine cardiac output () and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), and agitated saline contrast was used to determine (bubble score; 0\u20135). The principal findings were as follows: (i) was similar at SL rest (3.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.47\u00a0l\u00a0min\u22121<\/jats:sup>) compared with HA rest (4.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.49\u00a0l\u00a0min\u22121<\/jats:sup>; P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.382), but increased from rest during both SL and HA exercise (P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0<\u00a00.001); (ii) PASP increased from SL rest (19.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.7\u00a0mmHg) to HA rest (33.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.8\u00a0mmHg; P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) and, compared with SL, PASP was further elevated during HA exercise (P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.003); (iii) was increased from SL rest (0) to HA rest (median\u00a0=\u00a01; P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.04) and increased from resting values during SL exercise (P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0<\u00a00.05), but was unchanged during HA exercise (P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.91), despite significant increases in and PASP. Theoretical modelling of microbubble dissolution suggests that the lack of in response to exercise at HA is unlikely to be caused by saline contrast
