Heart Attack Case : A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to the heart is suddenly interrupted, mainly due to a blockage in one of the arteries of the heart. The blood vessels get blocked due to the accumulation of fats or plaque in the arteries. When this plaque ruptures, a blood clot is formed, which causes blockage of the arteries, leading to a heart attack.

Does cold weather affect heart health?

Due to the decrease in temperature in the winter season, the health of the heart is greatly affected. In cold weather, the heart has to work harder to keep the body warm. Blood vessels constrict due to continuous pumping of blood.

Does cold weather increase the risk of heart attack?

Yes, it is believed that the cases of heart attacks increase in the winter season. This is because people do less work in this season. During this, disorders like stroke, heart failure, cardiovascular problems, arrhythmia increase in cold weather.

The body’s nervous system becomes more active in winter, which causes the blood vessels to constrict, which is known as ‘vasoconstriction’. In this, the level of blood pressure starts increasing and the heart has to work harder to pump the blood. Which damages the blood vessels.
