Abstract
Lifelong sauna exposure is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Recent studies have investigated the effect of heat therapy (e.g. warm water immersion, Waon therapy or sauna) on markers of cardiovascular health. We aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta‐analysis to determine the effects of heat therapy on blood pressure and indices of vascular function in healthy and clinical populations.
