Heart rate and blood pressure changes during radiofrequency irradiation and environmental heating

J R Jauchem et al. Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol. 1992.

Abstract

1. Whole-body exposure of animals to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) can cause an increase in body temperature. 2. Responses to heating, whether due to RFR or to more conventional means, include changes in heart rate and blood pressure. 3. Although cardiovascular responses to various types of heating are similar, differences in the magnitude of changes may result from different thermal gradients within the body. 4. This review compares the effects of RFR and conventional environmental heating on heart rate and blood pressure.
