Heart attack news: 20 percent of people stop breathing before reaching the hospital. Pi News

Heart Attack News: Gwalior (NP). The heart is deceiving in the growing cold. Coronary arteries narrow. Even for the average person, the risk of a heart attack increased by 33 percent. Twenty percent of people stop breathing before reaching the hospital. If someone already has heart disease, his problem becomes serious. With the increase of winter, the number of heart attack patients at JAH’s heart center has doubled.

Ten to 15 heart attack patients arrive every day. This is twice as much as on normal days. It is worrying that most of these patients are young and have no previous heart problems. A sudden pain appeared in the chest, and after examination it was found to be a heart attack. Cardiologist Dr Puneet Rastogi said that many patients die before reaching the hospital. These include young people. Therefore, special attention should be paid to those suffering from heart diseases and colds.

There are two main reasons for the attack

Ad

• Like other arteries, coronary arteries narrow in winter. This can reduce the blood supply to the heart muscle. Decreased blood supply can lead to myocardial ischemia and heart attack. In addition, blood volume increases in winter. In summer, fluid leaves the body through sweat.
• Hormonal changes in the winter season lead to an increase in blood clotting factors, including fibrinogen. The risk of heart attack also increases because the number of clots increases.

beware of this

• Cardiac patients, the elderly, those with high blood pressure, and high-risk patients should be protected from the cold.
• Avoid cold winds, cold wind is the most harmful.
• Cold winds change the body’s metabolic system and hemodynamic system, which increases the risk of heart attack.
• Avoid fried foods and hot spices.
• Use less oil and fat.
• Eat as little junk food as possible.
• Do not drink cold drinks.

In winter, the risk of heart attack increases by 33%. Blood pressure rises, which leads to a heart attack. Cholesterol-rich plaque builds up in the arteries of the heart, causing blood clots to form and stop the heart from working, increasing the risk of heart attacks. Other heart patients suffer from cardiomyopathy. In them, the pumping of the heart is less than before. The pump was affected by a lung infection during the winter. Creates a condition of heart failure.
