Abstract

Visitors at high altitude are increasing in age and comorbidities,
which can lead to a failure in acclimatization.
We describe the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in a 44-
year-old man with metabolic syndrome and the time- and altitude-
dependent correlation between the development of AMS and blood
pressure and heart rate changes.
Our observations support a dominant role of endothelial dysfunction in
the pathogenesis of AMS and suggest new behavioral indications.
