Pulmonary capillary reserve and exercise capacity at high altitude in healthy humans

PURPOSE: We determined whether well-acclimatized humans have a reserve to recruit pulmonary capillaries in response to exercise at high altitude. METHODS: At sea level, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), alveolar-capillary membrane conductance (Dm(CO)), and pulmonary capillary blood...
