The Hidden Danger of Heat: Why Cardiovascular Health Needs Extra Attention
As temperatures rise, our body’s ability to regulate itself is put to the test.
For individuals with cardiovascular concerns, heat is more than discomfort—it’s a silent threat.
Why Is Heat Especially Risky for Heart and Brain Health?
In high temperatures, your body responds by dilating blood vessels, increasing heart rate, and boosting perspiration. These changes can lead to:
- Sudden blood pressure fluctuations, placing extra stress on the heart
- Mild dehydration that thickens the blood, raising stroke risk
- Electrolyte imbalances triggering arrhythmias or dizziness
Who’s at Higher Risk?
- Individuals with a history of hypertension, stroke, or heart disease
- Those taking diuretics or long-term cardiovascular medications
- People with diabetes or kidney conditions
- Middle-aged adults who may overlook subtle warning signs
