WCN25-3395 Exertional Heat Stroke with Bimodal Rhabdomyolysis: A case series

Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving rapid dissolution of damaged or injured skeletal muscle. Common causes of rhabdomyolysis include direct traumatic injury, drugs, toxins, infection and prolonged bed rest. Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a medical emergency frequently associated with exertional rhabdomyolysis (ERM). High temperatures combined with high humidity levels can impair the body's ability to dissipate heat, impaired thermoregulation which can leads to inflammation and eventually multiorgan failure including severe rhabdomyolysis.
