Figure 1 Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) at low (LA) and high altitude (HA) during rest and exercise. Data are expressed as mean (± SD). a p < 0.05 versus low altitude; b p < 0.05 versus rest at the same altitude.

Figure 2 Plasma norepinephrine levels at low (LA) and high altitude (HA) during rest and exercise: (a) central venous blood, (b) arterial blood, (c) pulmonary exchange of plasma norepinephrine. Data are expressed as mean (±SD). a p < 0.05 versus low altitude; b p < 0.05 versus rest at the same altitude.
