Acute cardiovascular changes following heat exposure during simulated shipboard firefighting
Abstract Like structural firefighting, shipboard firefighting requires extreme exertion. However, shipboard firefighting may be a unique cardiovascular stress as most sailors lack extensive firefighting experience and may complete significant work before reaching the fire scene.

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.

Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is limited by cumulative cardiotoxicity. Exercise, particularly high‐intensity interval training (HIIT), has emerged as an effective non‐pharmacological strategy to counteract chemotherapy‐induced cardiac injury.

Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...
