Abstract
In this second part of the narrative review on cardiovascular pathology at high altitude, the clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of acute and chronic coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and arterial hypertension under conditions of hypobaric hypoxia are addressed. Finally, the main gaps in current knowledge and the opportunities for the development of research aimed at achieving a better understanding of these conditions in populations permanently residing at high altitude are highlighted.
