Acute mountain sickness in a subject with metabolic syndrome at high altitude
(Akute Höhenkrankheit bei einer Person mit metabolem Syndrom in großer Höhe)
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.
