Abstract in brief

  • Sauna exposure can temporarily improve arterial flexibility and reduce blood pressure.
  • The study found that a single 30-minute sauna session decreased pulse wave velocity, blood pressure, and left ventricular ejection time, with effects lasting at least 30 minutes.
  • These results suggest sauna bathing might have short-term benefits for cardiovascular health, especially for people at risk of heart issues.]
