Abstract
<b>Intravenous iron supplementation at sea level is associated with enhanced stroke volume and higher <i>S</i><sub>pO<sub>2</sub></sub> on ascent to very high altitude (5100 m). These effects appear to result from reduced pulmonary vascular resistance and improved right heart function.</b>https://bit.ly/2VQX5fR
