The acute effects of passive heat exposure on arterial stiffness, oxidative stress, and inflammation

Conclusions This study describes for the first time acute PHE effects on arterial stiffness, inflammation and OxS. PHE significantly decreases large artery elasticity index and increases inflammatory IL-6 level. However, further larger investigations are needed for clarifying acute PHE effects on arterial function and biomarkers.
