Why the study?
Does environmental heating alter skin blood flow and thermoregulatory responses in patients with chronic heart failure?
Does environmental heating alter skin blood flow and thermoregulatory responses in patients with chronic heart failure?
Chronic heart failure patients demonstrate impaired skin blood flow during heat exposure, which defends blood pressure but predisposes them to heat intolerance.
HF patients may warrant heat exposure precautions; leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
HF patients exhibit impaired thermoregulatory responses to heat exposure. Lower SkBF in HF, which defends blood pressure during heat exposure, also predisposes these subjects to heat intolerance.
