Abstract

Nowadays, situations associated with high altitude such as mountaineering, aviation increasingly draw the attention of people. Gas pressure decreases and hypoxia is encountered when climbing higher. Physiological and pathological responses of human body to different heights are different. Therefore, physiological and pathological changes that may occur together with height and to know the clinical outcomes of these are important . Acute mountain sickness caused by high altitude and high altitude cerebral edema are preventable diseases with appropriate precautions. Atmospheric oxygen decreasing with height, initiates many adaptive mechanisms. These adaptation mechanisms and acclimatization vary widely among individuals because of reasons such as environmental factors, exercise and cold. High altitude causes different changes in the cardiovascular system with various mechanisms. Although normal individuals easily adapt to these changes, this situation can lead to undesirable results in people with heart disease. For this reason, it should be known the effective evaluation of the people with known heart disease before traveling to high altitude and the complications due to the changes with height and the recommendations can be made to these patients.

Özet

Günümüzde havacılık ve dağcılık gibi yüksek irtifa ile ilişkili durumlar insanların gittikçe daha da artan düzeyde ilgisini çekmektedir. Yükseklere çıkılırken gaz basıncı azalmakta ve hipoksi ile karşılaşılmaktadır. İnsan vücudunun farklı yüksekliklere vereceği fizyolojik ve patolojik cevaplar farklıdır. Bu nedenle yükseklikle beraber oluşabilecek fizyolojik ve patolojik değişikliklerin ve klinik sonuçlarının bilinmesi önemlidir. Yüksek irtifa ile oluşan akut dağ hastalığı ve yüksek irtifa beyin ödemi, uygun önlemler ile engellenebilir hastalıklardır. Yükseklikle beraber azalan atmosferik oksijen, birçok adaptasyon mekanizmasını başlatmaktadır. Bu adaptasyon mekanizmaları ve aklimatizasyon; çevresel etmenler, egzersiz soğuk gibi nedenlerden dolayı kişiler arasında büyük farklılıklar gösterir. Yüksek irtifa kardiyovasküler sistemde birçok mekanizma ile farklı değişikliklere neden olur. Normal bireyler bu değişikliklere kolay uyum sağlayabilse de kalp hastalığı olan kişilerde bu durum istenmeyen sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle bilinen kalp hastalığı olan kişiler yükseğe seyahatleri öncesi etkin bir şekilde değerlendirilmeleri ve yükseklik ile oluşan değişikliklere bağlı gelişebilecek komplikasyonlar ve bu hastalara yapılabilecek öneriler bilinmelidir.
