A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

Cerebrovascular regulation during heat stress
Abstract Given that the brain is a highly metabolic organ and is enclosed by the skull, effective regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), not only for oxygen and nutrients supply but also as a means of convective heat exchange, is critical for preventing excessive elevations in brain temperature.

Acute hot‐water immersion augments the diastolic blood pressure nocturnal dip in healthy adults
Abstract Hot‐water immersion (HWI) has been shown to reduce 24 h ambulatory systolic blood pressure in hypertensive adults and might represent a preventative strategy for maintaining cardiovascular health in normotensive adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the time course of post‐HWI hypotension and test the hypothesis that a single HWI ...
