🔥Can sauna bathing improve exercise capacity in HFpEF? In the SAUNA-HFpEF pilot study, published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, first author @TarekBekfaniMD and colleagues from @CTCPR_ and University Hospital Magdeburg found that 10 weeks of supervised sauna bathing improved peak VO₂, 6MWT, quadriceps strength, diastolic function, body composition & QoL. Benefits declined after sauna withdrawal, supporting the need for larger randomized trials. Study link: academic.oup.com/eurjhf/adva… @TorBiering @CopCard @RigsHeart @HGHHjerte @Stenodiabetes
