Heat edema is a self‐limited process manifested by mild swelling and tightening of the hands and feet that appears in the first few days of exposure to a hot environment. It is usually seen in nonacclimatized persons, especially elderly persons, who encounter hot climatic stresses. The edema is usually minimal and not accompanied by a significant impairment in function. It is presumed to be due to cutaneous dilation and orthostatic pooling of interstitial fluid in the extremities. 2, record 1, English, - heat%20edema
