Summary
Body iron levels may be important in determining how the blood pressure in the lungs changes
in response to low oxygen levels. At high altitude, where oxygen levels are low, some
patients develop elevated lung blood pressure. The investigators hypothesize that, in high
altitude residents with elevated lung blood pressure, iron supplementation will cause a
reduction in lung blood pressure.
