A lab-controlled experiment found that passive heat exposure increased myocardial blood flow in all participants, causing stress on the heart. This risk was more pronounced in persons with CAD: https://t.co/7A15nlwz8K

Arguably our lab’s biggest publication, however that is defined! We show that heat exposure: 1) nearly doubles myocardial blood flow and 2) can cause myocardial ischemia in adults with coronary artery disease. @AnnalsofIM:

Background: Heat extremes are associated with greater risk for cardiovascular death. The pathophysiologic mechanisms mediating this association are unknown. Objective: To quantify the myocardial...
