Angus Genetic Question?

[Traveler]

Regarding this statement:

Jennings switched to Chappell because of their problem-solving approach. He was experiencing 6% to 8%
death loss from brisket disease, caused by high pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), at the same time Williams
was working with Colorado State University (CSU) to research the problem.
"We were able to identify which bloodlines we were having trouble with and now we're not having any
problems," he says.

Does anyone have a link or information on bloodlines susceptible to brisket disease, caused by high pulmonary arterial pressure, especially at elevations less than the usual 7000 foot threshold? Thanks.

More info.

I wonder if these "Angus" bulls will help you out with elevation disease?
