@JoshFoster_PhD @ZachMcKenna_PhD Great stuff, congrats!

[The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC @IntegrPhysLab]

@shademap @AnnalsofIM And you are right that it probably increases much more with exercise!

[The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC @IntegrPhysLab]

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: https://t.co/i45MU2kjdD

[The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC @IntegrPhysLab]

@shademap @AnnalsofIM In and of itself, no. It depends on the capacity of the blood vessels to accommodate the greater blood flow demand. If the arteries can dilate sufficiently, not a problem. If they can’t, then potentially it could lead to ischemia.

[Annals of Int Med @AnnalsofIM]

A newly published editorial discusses how #ClimateChange has intensified the dangers of heat exposure and potential implications for public health measures aimed at identifying those at high risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes: https://t.co/hI5jGKx1eZ
