Summary
This study looks at whether two common heart medications, propranolol and metoprolol, cause older adults to get hotter than normal during extreme heat. Researchers will measure body temperature and sweat rate in 22 healthy volunteers aged 65 and older over 3 hours of heat exposure. The goal is to understand if these drugs increase the risk of heat-related illness in seniors.
