Background:
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening illness that can lead to multiple organ damage in the early stage.
Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 24-hour indicators and mortality in patients with EHS.
Methods:
The records of EHS patients hospitalized were collected and divided into the death group and the survival group. We then analyzed the demographic characteristics and APACHE II scores and laboratory results of the participants in the blood within the first 24 h after hospitalization, and assessed whether these candidate indicators differed between the death group and the survival group. Cox regression analysis of the survival data was performed to explore the relationship between early indicators and prognosis.
Results:
The levels of plasma PT, APTT, TT, and INR were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group. The blood PLT count and the levels of PTA and Fb were significantly lower in the death group than in the survival group, while the levels of BU, SCr, ALT, AST, TBil, and DBil were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group. Furthermore, the levels of Mb, LDH, TNI, and NT-proBNP were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group, while there was no significant difference in CK levels between the two groups.
Conclusion:
Patients with EHS often had multiple organ injuries in the early stage (within 24 h), while those cases in the death group were more severe.

01:26Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
