Abstract
High-altitude-related pulmonary disease is a spectrum of acute and chronic illnesses with a well-described epidemiology. The risk for these illnesses is related to well-known environmental risk factors and lesser-known but important genetic factors. Prevention of acute high-altitude illness is possible in most visitors from lower elevations. Chronic high-altitude illnesses have an important worldwide impact.Entities:
