found some info on this disease, but couldn't find whether animals that have been scored to excel at elevation (ie do not have high blood pressure) do not have an issue at lower elevation kind of like humans with low ablood pressure or like kenyan marathon runners. interesting how animals are scored. lowered oxygen levels stimulate the heart to pump more and more red blood cells get made and heart enlarges to get more air to the lungs causing problems. in animals without this "protection" mechanism i couldn't find how they were getting along, or had a more efficient oxygen distribution mechanism without the advantage/disadvantage? of not being able to go to higher elevations.
