Abstract:Passive whole‐body hyperthermia increases limb blood flow and cardiac output (), but the interplay between peripheral and central thermo‐haemodynamic mechanisms remains unclear. Here we tested the hypothesis that local hyperthermia‐induced alterations in peripheral blood flow and blood kinetic energy modulate flow to the heart and . Body temperatures, regional (leg, arm, head) and systemic haemodynamics, and left ventricular (LV) volumes and functions were assessed in eight healthy males during: (1) 3 h contro… Show more
