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 ...

Supine hypertension: A state of the art
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.

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]
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.

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
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.

The Costs of a Quiet Disorder: Direct and Indirect Costs of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension [PDF]
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH; pseudotumor cerebri) is a disorder with a reported incidence rate of one to three per 100,000 people in the general population.

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 ...
