Figure Statistically significant but modest decreases in systolic blood pressure were observed following exposure to infrared lamps at 3 and 5 minutes after exposure (*P <0.01). Following ultraviolet exposure, all volunteers showed a highly significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (†P <0.003). Bars indicate mean, error bars indicate SEM.
