Official Title: Time Course and Prognostic Significance of Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Highlanders.

Brief Summary: The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the clinical and physiologic course of Kyrgyz highlanders with high altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) by performing a longitudinal cohort study. To this end, the investigators will invite the same highlanders who participated in the study in 2012 to undergo follow-up examinations in 2017, in order to allow comparisons of current results with baseline data from 2012.
