Infrared Heat and Coronary Effect
Infrared Heat and Coronary
Effect Finnish researchers, reporting the regular use of saunas state "there
is abundant evidence to suggest that blood vessels of regular sauna-users
remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction"
of blood vessels induced by sauna use.
A group of hypertensive patients
was studied using far infrared saunas, to carefully evaluate the effects on
the circulatory system. With each infrared session, there was a decrease of
blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral resistance
in every subject. There was also a significant increase of heart rates, stroke
volumes, cardiac outputs and ejection fractions. The researchers cite these
last three effects as evidence that stimulation of the heart during infrared
induced hypothermia is well-compensated, while the prior list of effects show
clear detail of the microcirculatory changes leading to the desired result
of lowering blood pressure.
