infrared heat improves cardiac output and reduces vascular resistance without raising blood pressure
Thermal vasodilation via infrared heat did not significantly alter mean arterial pressure or heart rate in decompensated heart failure patients despite increasing cardiac index and reducing systemic vascular resistance.
What this means for you
Your heart can pump more efficiently when blood vessels relax and resistance drops — and this finding shows that response can happen without spiking blood pressure or heart rate. For anyone focused on cardiovascular wellness, that kind of circulatory ease may support better oxygen delivery, less strain on the heart, and a more resilient system overall.
