Not only cold weather increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, hot summer days should also be taken seriously! Doctors warn that the loss of sweat and rapid evaporation in hot weather can lead to dehydration and lack of essential electrolytes like potassium and sodium, causing blood to thicken, potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. A recent case of a 55-year-old office worker who mistook breathing difficulties and chest tightness as being overweight, but turned out to be acute myocardial infarction, serves as a reminder that cardiovascular diseases can affect middle-aged individuals. Proper hydration, avoidance of smoking, and following medical advice are essential in managing cardiovascular health.
