… Heat stroke is caused by excessive body heat storage when high ambient temperature
prevents heat dissipation by radiation or convection and sweat evaporation is limited by humidity. …

Aim Relatively little information is available about the effect of an acute exertional heat stroke
(EHS) on myocardium structure and function. Herein, we used a survival male rat model of …

… heatstroke pathophysiology, we consider that heatstroke is a form of hyperthermia accompanied
by acute physiological alterations… damage and attenuated heat-shock response, and …

Background Heat stroke is a life-threatening injury requiring neurocritical care; however,
heat stroke has not been completely examined due to several possible reasons, such as no …

… This review will summarize the accepted and theoretical pathophysiological alterations that
form a common pathway from compensable and uncompensable heat stress to heat stroke …

… heat exposure allows further categorization of heat stroke into its classic (ie, passive) or
exertional form. Classic heat stroke … show enhanced mortality during heat waves (Dematte et al., …

… However, because these biomarkers are released by a variety of organs and/or tissues
and altered by heat as well as exhaustive exercise, they may not be sensitive diagnostic …

… core body temperature and neurological alterations during heatwaves. Thus, if the patient
subsequently dies, death can be unambiguously attributed to heatstroke. However, difficulties …

… altered genetic expression of heat-shock proteins.HS occurs in two forms; classic (nonexertional)
heat stroke (… high environmental temperatures, and exertional heat stroke (EHS), due to …

… We conclude that the acid-base response to heatstroke is predominantly metabolic acidosis.
Hypoxemia, hypotension and liver impairment may contribute to this along with increased …
