Is acute mountain sickness repeatable across two 12-hour normobaric hypoxia exposures?
The LLS was not repeatable across 2 identical hypoxic exposures. Increased familiarity with the environment (not acclimation) could explain the reduced AMS severity on the second hypoxic exposure. Headache was the most reliable AMS symptom.
Elevated BNP levels correlate with response of systolic right ventricular function assessed by IVA to Dobutamine stress.
