Abstract

Part one of this series on heat-related illness described how the disease has been known and written about for thousands of years. Since then, there have been some improvements in our understanding of its risks, mechanisms and treatments. However, heat-related illness remains a significant problem, and can be fatal or cause ongoing disability even after the acute episode has passed. This narrative review, the second article in a two-part series describes current understanding of heat-related illness and offers an insight into what we may learn in the future about its cause and potential new treatments and strategies.
