Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, and novel
therapies are drastically needed to prevent or delay the onset of CVD to reduce the societal …

In this review, we highlight recent studies from our group and others that have characterized
the cardiovascular adjustments that occur after acute heat exposure. Special emphasis will …

Regular exposure to passive heat stress improves vascular function, but the optimal heating
prescription remains undefined. Local limb heating is more feasible than whole body …

We measured acute vascular responses to heat stress to examine the hypothesis that
macrovascular endothelial-dependent dilation is improved in a shear-dependent manner …

Hyperthermia is thought to increase limb blood flow through the activation of thermosensitive
mechanisms within the limb vasculature, but the precise vascular locus in which …

Acute heat exposure improves microvascular function in aged adults as assessed using
reactive hyperemia. The cutaneous and skeletal muscle microcirculations are thought to …

Passive hyperthermia causes cerebral hypoperfusion primarily from heat‐induced
respiratory alkalosis. However, despite the cerebral hypoperfusion, it is possible that the …

Regular Finnish sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of all‐cause and
cardiovascular mortality in middle‐aged and older adults. Potential acute physiological …

Acute whole body heat stress evokes sympathetic activation. However, the chronic effects of
repeated moderate heat exposure (RMHE) on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in …

Purpose The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of repeated, single leg
heating on lower limb endothelial function. Methods Macrovascular function was assessed …
