Abstract A comparative study of the responses of the mast cell and coagulation systems to experimentally induced myocardial infarction in dogs that had been constantly living at a medium altitude (1600 m above sea level) and those constantly living at a low altitude (760 m) revealed less marked morphological and functional changes in these systems in the former (“mountain”) dogs, which may be interpreted as an indication of their enhanced nonspecific resistance acquired as a result of long-term adaptation to conditions prevailing at medium altitudes.
