Other infrared sauna benefits reported from limited studies include: its ability to normalize blood pressure, treat congestive heart failure, and alleviate chronic pain (from a 2009 review of nine ...
Most of the mainstream attention is on the cardiovascular effects. Using a sauna does correlate with reduced blood pressure (in some, BP may also increase), increased heart rate, increased dermal perfusion with a reduction in organ perfusion, and increased left ventricular function and arterial flexibility.
A team led by researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, has examined the impact of saunas on fatal heart events, along with all-cause mortality. They surveyed 2,315 men aged 42 ...

An increase in sympathetic stimulation to the heart increases contractility and heart rate. An increase in contractility tends to increase stroke volume and thus a secondary increase in preload. An increase in preload results in an increased force of contraction by Starling's law of the heart; this does not require a change in contractility.
Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

While the reflex may raise heart rate by as much as 40% to 60%, [7] initial attempts to replicate Bainbridge's observations were frequently unsuccessful [8] and this inconsistency was only explained in 1955 when Coleridge and Linden found that the type of heart rate response (increase or decrease) depended on the resting heart rate and the rate ...
