Thermoregulation and physiological responses

Complementary and alternative treatments have been proposed for heart failure (HF), including Waon therapy, a kind of sauna therapy; however, studies have been shown divergent results.1–5 Therefore, the main objective of this study was to perform a systematic review about the effect of sauna therapy on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), blood pressure, natriuretic peptides (NP), and noradrenaline in patients with HF.
