The surgeon named conditions that increase the risk of stroke
A stroke in summer poses a threat to those who work in the garden, travel in stuffy transport and work in poorly ventilated rooms. Alexander Umnov, a lecturer at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, told about this on Thursday, July 31.
According to the doctor, the risk group includes people who travel to work in stuffy transport, long waits at a bus stop in the heat, whose work involves staying in closed, poorly ventilated rooms, as well as summer residents. High fever combined with a lack of fresh air can lead to hemodynamic disorders and hypoxia, which often accelerates the onset of stroke, he said.
The surgeon noted that the risk of cerebrovascular accidents increases with sudden changes in weather conditions.
"In patients with chronic vascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, in 70% of cases there are manifestations of meteorological dependence. Another important risk factor is insufficient fluid intake in a hot climate," said Umnov in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .
The expert added that fluid deficiency causes microcirculation disorders, especially in peripheral tissues, including the brain, which is extremely sensitive to hypoxia.
Earlier that day, Olesya Makhova, head of the Roskachestvo Plant-Based Product Development Competence Center, told Izvestia that increasing the proportion of plant-based foods in the diet has a positive effect on heart health.
According to the expert, legumes, especially black beans, are extremely beneficial for the heart due to the content of folic acid, antioxidants and magnesium. These substances help control blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. At the same time, walnuts are a valuable product for the cardiovascular system, she noted.
