Why do heart attack cases increase in winter?
Cardiac events tend to surge in winter, according to experts. While heart attack cases are reported throughout the year, the cold weather can heighten the possibility of heart attacks, especially in people with hypertension. This means that the heart has to work harder," Dr Vaibhav Mishra, Senior Director, Max Hospital, Patparganj, told India Today's Sneha Mordani. Dr Bhupendra Kumar, Director, Neurology Medharbour, Gurugram, said, "In winter, our blood is not able to flow freely the way it happens in summer. Experts recommend increasing light physical activity, wearing warm layers when stepping out, and maintaining a heart-healthy diet including vegetables, fruits, high-fibre content and enough protein.
