Figure 2. Effects of acetazolamide (ACZ) and high altitude (5050 m) on ventilatory and cardiovascular responsivess to hypercapnia.
A, individual slopes; B, group data (mean ± SD). Filled circles, sea level control; open circles, sea level ACZ; filled squares, 5050 m control; open squares, 5050 m ACZ. Ascent to 5050 m enhanced the cardiovascular response to CO2, while no changes were observed following ACZ at either sea level or 5050 m. *Different from sea level (P < 0.05).
