Researchers study how hypoxia generates biomechanical changes in the cardiovascular system in workers in the mining sector
By: Dr. Franyi Sarmiento, Ph.D., Inspenet, March 22, 2022.
The shifts and work modalities in the Chilean mining companies that are located at high altitudes are varied. Sometimes it is ‘4×3’, that is, four days working and sleeping on the job, and three days off, or ‘7×7’, among others. The coming and going, the variation in height and exposure to land that is over 2,500 meters above sea level (masl) generate certain changes in the body, specifically in the heart muscle and arteries.
