oai:omp.pkp.sfu.ca:publicationFormat-752019-01-17T16:42:47Z Aerospace cardiology Cardiología aeroespacial Cardiología aeroespacial Iglesias Leal, Ramiro In this book we analyze the most outstanding aspects of the behavior of the heart and blood circulation during aeronautical and space activity. The knowledge generated in this area of ??medicine is abundant and becomes increasingly important because air transportation increases continuously. At present, around 2 billion people per year are transported by plane. In Mexico, air transport transports approximately 50 million passengers; Only between 24 and 25 million passengers are received at the airport in Mexico City and these figures increase year after year. On the other hand. More than half of the population of Mexico resides in the Central Plateau and in other places of medium altitude (between 1500 and 3000 meters high). In the Andean countries there are important populations settled in high altitude areas that impose a physiology and cardiovascular pathology on their inhabitants. Residents of low-lying areas who move to places of medium altitude or high altitude experience physiological changes that at some point can compromise their health and even life: they can suffer very serious pathological conditions such as acute mountain disease or acute edema lung of the altitude. For healthy people, the flight in theory should not present any problem, but some patients, particularly the cardiorespiratory system can be seriously affected by the flight conditions. Two-thirds of the medical emergencies that occurred during the flight, as well as most deaths on board commercial aircraft and unscheduled landings are due to cardiovascular problems. Most compensated cardiorespiratory sufferers can travel by plane or move to medium altitude regions, but in general require specific indications and care. En este libro se analizan los aspectos más sobresalientes del comportamiento del corazón y la circulación sanguínea durante la actividad aeronáutica y espacial. El conocimiento generado en esta área de la medicina es abundante y adquiere cada vez más importancia porque la transportación aérea se incrementa continuamente. En la actualidad se transportan por avión alrededor de 2000 millones de personas al año. En México el transporte aéreo traslada aproximadamente 50 millones de pasajeros; sólo en el aeropuerto de la ciudad de México se reciben entre 24 y 25 millones de viajeros y estas cifras se incrementan año tras año. Por otra parte. más de la mitad de la población de México reside en la Meseta Central y en otros lugares de altitud media (entre 1500 y 3000 metros de altura). En los países andinos existen poblaciones importantes asentadas en zonas de gran altitud que imponen a sus habitantes una fisiología y una patología cardiovascular propia. Los residentes de zonas bajas que se trasladan a lugares de altitud media o de gran altitud experimentan cambios fisiológicos que en algún momento pueden comprometer su salud y hasta la vida: pueden sufrir cuadros patológicos muy graves como la enfermedad aguda de la montaña o el edema agudo pulmonar de la altitud. Para las personas sanas, el viaje en avión teóricamente no debe presentar ningún problema, pero algunos enfermos, particularmente del sistema cardiorrespiratorio pueden ser afectados seriamente por las condiciones del vuelo. Las dos terceras partes de las emergencias médicas ocurridas durante el vuelo, así como la mayoría de las muertes a bordo de aeronaves comerciales y los aterrizajes no programados son debido a problemas cardiovasculares. La mayor parte de los enfermos cardiorrespiratorios compensados pueden viajar en avión o trasladarse a regiones de altitud media, pero en general requieren de indicaciones y cuidados específicos.

In this book we analyze the most outstanding aspects of the behavior of the heart and blood circulation during aeronautical and space activity.
The knowledge generated in this area of ??medicine is abundant and becomes increasingly important because air transportation increases continuously. At present, around 2 billion people per year are transported by plane. In Mexico, air transport transports approximately 50 million passengers; Only between 24 and 25 million passengers are received at the airport in Mexico City and these figures increase year after year. On the other hand. More than half of the population of Mexico resides in the Central Plateau and in other places of medium altitude (between 1500 and 3000 meters high). In the Andean countries there are important populations settled in high altitude areas that impose a physiology and cardiovascular pathology on their inhabitants.
