How do walk-in bathtubs support seniors with heart conditions?

Low-entry access and seated bathing may be easier to use, but a walk-in tub is not a treatment for a heart condition. Heat and immersion can affect how someone feels, and suitability depends on the individual. Ask the treating clinician about bathing temperature, duration and assistance before using heated water or jets. Choose a tub around safe access and an appropriate exit plan; do not rely on claims that it lowers blood pressure or improves heart health.
