Increased risk of heart attack and death in winter

Multiple studies confirm that the risk of heart attack in the winter and therefore mortality increases by 50 percent

 

The risk of heart attack and death can increase by up to 50 percent in the winter - according to a report published on a health-related website.

As the temperature drops, the internal temperature needed for the body becomes difficult to maintain. For cardiovascular, survivors of cardiovascular problems, it is extremely dangerous to lose the body temperature.

Because, in the winter, chest pain can actually begin. Winter is a very risky time for every person who has had a heart attack or has previously undergone a heart attack.

Because they are one of the main symptoms of heart failure.

Doctor at Venkateswara Hospital, located in Dayarka, New Delhi. Anil Dhal said, “Increased blood pressure can be the cause of the aggravation of heart problems in winter. In arid climates, the arteries are compressed and the heart has to work extra hard to supply blood. During winter, certain levels of protein in the blood increase, thus increasing the risk of blood clotting in the arteries. ”

"An abnormal decrease in body temperature is called 'hypothermia' in medical terms, which causes many heart attacks."

He added “If the air has various pollutions it is one of the causes for heart attack. In winter, these contaminants accumulate in the soil, which can lead to chest inflammation and increase the risk of heart attack. On the other hand, people become more sluggish in the winter, thus increasing their chances of becoming frustrated. In these words, the condition is called 'Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).'

"Laziness and frustration combine to a major cause of the heart attack."

The elderly and those who have heart problems find it difficult to cope with the stress of the heart. The result is increased risk of heart attack.

Also, cholesterol levels fluctuate in winter. Those who are not in control of diabetes increase their risk of developing heart disease.

President of the Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI) KK Agarwal said, “Every heart patient should have a heart condition and mental stress test in winter. This season can lead to a sudden heart attack due to irregularities in eating, waking up at night, not consuming timely drugs and smoking or alcoholism.”

>> More time should be spent indoors to keep the body temperature stable. In addition to other winter clothes, socks should be worn on hands and feet. Have to take a bath with hot water.

>> Heavy eating at one time puts an added strain on the heart rate at all ages. Therefore, healthy foods should be eaten with a small amount a few times. Water and salt intake levels should be monitored.
