Cardiovascular Adjustments After Acute Heat Exposure
Steven A. Romero, Rauchelle E. Richey, Holden W. Hemingway
Abstract
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 be placed on underlying mechanisms and clinical implications. Finally, we postulate that these acute cardiovascular adjustments may predict the long-term adaptive response to chronic heat therapy.
