Summary
This study tested whether the drug acetazolamide can reduce the rise in lung blood pressure that happens when healthy adults travel to high altitude (3600 meters). 303 men and women took either the drug or a placebo. The goal was to see if the drug's effect differs between sexes. The results help understand how to prevent altitude-related lung strain.
