Hi,
As you might already know, Heatstroke is caused by an "overload" of the body's temperature regulation system or a "failure" of the cardiovascular system during exercise in a hot environment. Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Medical care must be obtained at once; a delay in treatment can be fatal. Recovery from heatstroke is a highly individualized process. The majority of patients recover completely within one to six months. One study of two cross country runners showed that liver damage required 11-12 months to heal. Other studies have reported that victims may be intolerant to exercise in heat for two to 5 years.
