High Altitude Pulmonary Edema: An Update on Omics Data and Redefining Susceptibility

Subhojit Paul, Anamika Gangwar, Aditya Arya, Kalpana Bhargava and Yasmin Ahmad

High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a serious pathological condition associated with rapid ascent to high altitude occurring in non-acclimatized but otherwise healthy individuals. Decades of scientific studies on HAPE have unraveled the disease pathology, diagnosis and therapeutic interventions yet, the etiology is still unknown. A vast scientific literature is available on HAPE for a quick reference of clinicians, researchers and academicians. Perhaps, the view of mountain travelers is different and their anticipation of HAPE susceptibility comprises of personal experience. Ever-increasing number of visitors to high altitude demands the possibility of HAPE susceptibility screening, however, scientific community is yet to find a staunch solution. This review is an update of recent information on HAPE susceptibility indicators from genomics, proteomics and metabolomics as well as information pertaining to treatment/prognosis of HAPE.
