Additional information

Study funded by the British Mt. Everest Foundation (c/o Bailey). First ever human study to demonstrate that the subtle imperfections in dynamic cerebral autoregulation at sea-level can successfully predict the severity of acute mountain sickness (AMS) following ascent to high-altitude. These haemodynamic biomarkers are currently being considered to predict AMS susceptibility during (rapid ascent) commercial expeditions to high-altitude given the financial implications associated with insurance and indemnity (eg. the high-profile Kili-Captains Rugby Expedition: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/kilimanjaro-can-killer-1921723).
