risk of dying or other health issue because of Sauna is very small, even when you have a heart condition. The effect to the heart is the same as walking more or less. The risk comes when blood pressure suddenly changes if you jump into cold water for example, right after Sauna.
So if you can function normally in everyday life you can also go to Sauna, just be careful with the ice hole swimming right after.
Thank you for the writer for an excellent article, made me want to go to sauna and reminded me of countless of occasions I did had Sauna with friends or family.
