The doctor urged people with cardiovascular diseases to be careful in the heat.

Heat is especially dangerous for people with cardiovascular diseases. Evgeny Kokin, cardiologist of JSC "Medicine" (Academician Roitberg clinic), Candidate of Medical Sciences, warned about this on Thursday, June 11.

According to the doctor, people with these diseases should be careful in the heat, because because of it, the heart works under additional stress. At high air temperatures, the vessels expand, the pressure may fluctuate, and due to fluid loss, the blood becomes thicker. This increases the risk of tachycardia, exacerbation of ischemia, thrombosis and decompensation of chronic heart disease, he warned.

"In summer, heart attacks are more often triggered by dehydration, overheating, pressure drops, physical exertion in the heat and lack of sleep. People with hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, as well as elderly patients and those who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke are especially vulnerable," Kokin said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

The cardiologist recommended avoiding dehydration in the summer, avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun and lifting weights, as well as daily monitoring of blood pressure and pulse and reducing physical activity, especially during peak heat hours.
