Can An SVT Patient Travel To Higher Altitude?

My daughter has SVT and is going to Denver. She will be going up to a cabin at a higher altitude while she is there, about 2 days after arriving. She takes Metaprolol for her condition and I am wondering if the higher altitude will have a negative affect at all.

She can safely travel, acclimatisation is important and her staying for 2 days before ascending further up, would be good for her. Also just make sure he takes her metoprolol on time and carries enough stock of the drug. Per say if svt is well controlled and she is in normal sinus rhythm with the help of metoprolol , she can enjoy her vacation.
