Andeans with chronic mountain sickness (CMS) and polycythemia have similar maximal oxygen uptakes to healthy Andeans. Therefore, this study aimed to explore potential adaptations in convective oxygen transport, with a specific focus on sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction of nonactive skeletal muscle. In Andeans with (CMS+,n= 7) and without (CMS−,n= 9) CMS, we measured components of convective oxygen delivery, hemodynamic (arterial blood pressure via intra-arterial catheter), and autonomic responses [muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)] at rest and during steady-state submaximal cycling exercise [30% and 60% peak power output (PPO) for 5 min each]. Cycling caused similar increases in heart rate, cardiac output, and oxygen delivery at both workloads between both Andean groups. However, at 60% PPO, CMS+had a blunted reduction in Δtotal peripheral resistance (CMS−, −10.7 ± 3.8 vs. CMS+, −4.9 ± 4.1 mmHg·L−1·min−1;P= 0.012;d= 1.5) that coincided with a greater Δforearm vasoconstriction (CMS−, −0.2 ± 0.6 vs. CMS+, 1.5 ± 1.3 mmHg·mL−1·min−1;P= 0.008;d= 1.7) and a rise in Δdiastolic blood pressure (CMS−, 14.2 ± 7.2 vs. CMS+, 21.6 ± 4.2 mmHg;P= 0.023;d= 1.2) compared with CMS−. Interestingly, although MSNA burst frequency did not change at 30% or 60% of PPO in either group, at 60% Δburst incidence was attenuated in CMS+(P= 0.028;d= 1.4). These findings indicate that in Andeans with polycythemia, light intensity exercise elicited similar cardiovascular and autonomic responses compared with CMS−. Furthermore, convective oxygen delivery is maintained during moderate-intensity exercise despite higher peripheral resistance. In addition, the elevated peripheral resistance during exercise was not mediated by greater sympathetic neural outflow, thus other neural and/or nonneural factors are perhaps involved.NEW & NOTEWORTHYDuring submaximal exercise, convective oxygen transport is maintained in Andeans suffering from polycythemia. Light intensity exercise elicited similar cardiovascular and autonomic responses compared with healthy Andeans. However, during moderate-intensity exercise, we observed a blunted reduction in total peripheral resistance, which cannot be ascribed to an exaggerated increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity, indicating possible contributions from other neural and/or nonneural mechanisms.
