Identification of risk factors for exertional heat illness: A brief commentary on genetic testing

Article Abstract:

The links between Exertional Heat Illness (EHI), Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) and other hereditary diseases of muscle are discussed and genetic and functional testing is evaluated. It is highlighted that recurrent EHI is associated with MH and other genetic disorders thus it is necessary to identify and exclude individuals with known high risk factors.

The heat tolerance test: An efficient screening tool for evaluating susceptibility to heat

Article Abstract:

The applicability of the heat tolerance test (HTT) is presented in identifying individuals' tolerance/ intolerance to heat. It is observed that HTT is an efficient tool in differentiating between a temporary and permanent state of heat susceptibility.
