Long term variation in susceptibility?

Have any studies shown whether there is natural long term variation in susceptibility to altitude sickness and whether repeated short term acclimatization can build up longer term resistance? It would be interesting to see this covered in the article. Greenshed (talk) 22:38, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cause

Under "Cause" it says the cerebral edema is a cause of vasoconstriction and under "severe symptoms" it says that HACE is caused by vasodilation... What is correct? --197.88.29.85 (talk) 21:14, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
