BMMS ULan Mountain Medicine Winter Webinar - Patrick Hayle

The Heart At High Altitude

Patrick Hayle is a consultant cardiologist and mountaineer who will be talking about how the cardiovascular system responds to the demands of high altitude. Combining scientific insight with practical knowledge gained from the “High Altitude Registry”, Patrick will provide an engaging overview of cardiovascular physiology in the mountains and what we should understand about the heart at the extremes.

We’re back! The Mountain Medicine Winter Webinar Series returns in October 2026 for its 6th year! Thanks to support from the British Mountain Medicine Society (BMMS) and the Centre for Mountain Medicine at the University of Lancashire (ULan) these events are FREE to all!

Like previous years, each webinar will last for one hour and feature a talk from a fascinating guest speaker. Plenty of time will be set aside for questions and comments at the end.
