Table 1.

Thermal and hemodynamic data while normothermic, after an ∼1.5°C core temperature increase (heat stress) and at moderate, severe, and presyncopal LBNP

Normothermic Heat Stress Moderate LBNP Severe LBNP Presyncope
Mean skin temperature, °C 34.7 ± 0.5 39.2 ± 0.8* 38.8 ± 1.1* 39.0 ± 1.2* 39.0 ± 1.2*
Core temperature, °C 37.04 ± 0.42 38.51 ± 0.43* 38.55 ± 0.53* 38.73 ± 0.56* 38.75 ± 0.57*
Heart rate, beats/min 62 ± 9 107 ± 17* 117 ± 15* 134 ± 19* 137 ± 13*

Values are means ± SD; n = 10 for normothermic, heat stress, and moderate lower body negative pressure (LBNP); n = 6 for severe LBNP and presyncope conditions.
