Acute Mountain Sickness Symptoms After Rapid Ascent to 4900 m
This pilot study demonstrated that unacclimatized individuals rapidly exposed to 13,000 ft (4900 m) develop AMS symptoms in a controlled environment. The correlation between LLQ scores and physiological changes offers insight into AMS pathophysiology, supporting the need for further research into AMS susceptibility and genetic factors.
