为了评价低海拔对运动能力和心肌缺血的影响，12例冠心病患者和6名正常对照者在海拔130米的海法和海拔402米的死海进行了测功和运动超声心动图检查。在死海，患者组和对照组的运动持续时间增加了15%（p < 0.05），患者在休息时和运动后的室壁运动评分指数有所改善，表明冠心病患者下降到死海是安全的，改善了运动表现，减少了缺血。
To evaluate the effects of low altitude on exercise performance and myocardial ischemia, 12 patients with coronary artery disease and 6 normal controls underwent ergometric and exercise echocardiography in Haifa, 130 m above sea level, and at the Dead Sea, 402 m below sea level. At the Dead Sea, exercise duration increased by 15% (p < 0.05) in the patient and control groups and wall motion score index was improved in patients at rest and after exercise, indicating that descent to the Dead Sea in patients with coronary disease is safe, improves exercise performance, and decreases ischemia.
