Altitude-Related Venous Thrombosis With Heart Disease: An Updated Review
CURRENT PROBLEMS IN CARDIOLOGY(2024)
摘要
Altitude-related venous thrombosis (ARVT) is a condition of growing concern among individuals engaged in high-altitude travel and activities. This updated review explores the epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentations, and management of ARVT based on a thematic analysis and synthesis of the existing literature. ARVT's multifactorial etiology involves the interplay of hypobaric hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction, creating a procoagulant state and increasing the risk of thrombosis. Common clinical manifestations include pain, swelling, and redness in the extremities, necessitating accurate and timely diagnosis, particularly in remote settings. Thromboprophylaxis during high-altitude travel and activities plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of ARVT, while anticoagulation remains the mainstay of management. Further research is needed to optimize preventive and treatment strategies, enhancing patient outcomes and safety in high-altitude environments.
