Heart Failure and Thermoregulatory Control: Can Patients with Heart Failure Handle the Heat?

Highlights • Heart failure patients are susceptible to illness during heat stress. • Heat-induced sweating appears to be preserved in heart failure patients. • Heat-induced skin blood flow appears to be blunted in heart failure patients. • Lower skin blood flow may contribute to heat-related illness...

Summary:Highlights • Heart failure patients are susceptible to illness during heat stress. • Heat-induced sweating appears to be preserved in heart failure patients. • Heat-induced skin blood flow appears to be blunted in heart failure patients. • Lower skin blood flow may contribute to heat-related illness in heart failure. • Interventions for improving skin blood flow in heart failure are warranted.
