Acute hot‐water immersion augments the diastolic blood pressure nocturnal dip in healthy adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Supine hypertension: A state of the art

open access: yesAutonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical, 2022
Patients with cardiovascular autonomic failure (AF) may suffer from neurogenic supine hypertension (nSH), defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, after 5 min of rest in the supine position, combined with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in approximately 50% of the cases.

Passive heat therapy is feasible but does not affect cardiometabolic health outcomes in persons with spinal cord injury – a pilot study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive heat therapy can improve cardiometabolic health outcomes in some clinical populations, making it a potential therapeutic tool for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), who exhibit elevated cardiometabolic disease risk and face barriers to physical activity.

Multifrequency Magnetic Resonance Elastography of the Abdominal Aortic Wall: Segmental, Positional and Flow Effects. [PDF]

open access: yesNMR Biomed
In vivo abdominal aortic wall–specific MRE enables reproducible wall stiffness mapping while minimizing the intraluminal signal interference, revealing segment‐ and posture‐dependent stiffness patterns that complement morphology and flow measures for clinical evaluation of abdominal aortic wall health.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors mediate sustained sympathoexcitation during high altitude hypoxia in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.

Comparison of exercise training and repeated hot water immersion on vascular function in overweight older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies suggest that heat exposure may benefit cardiovascular health, but in overweight and obese older adults, the chronic effects of heat therapy on artery function are still uncertain. We aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks (3×/week, 40 min) of aerobic exercise (EXE) to hot water immersion (HWI) and an inactive control group ...
