News India Live, Digital Desk: Heat Stroke: These days, in many parts of India, there is a havoc of scorching heat and heat. The temperature is breaking new records every day and cases of life are also coming out due to this fierce heat. Doctors are repeatedly warning that this deadly heat can not only be sweated, but can directly threaten your heart, especially for those who are already struggling with any heart disease. Experts are calling it a ‘silent killer’, because the risk of sudden heart attacks increases rapidly as the body temperature rises.
How does the risk of heart attack increase due to rising body temperature?
The normal temperature of our body is around 37 ° C (98.6 Fahrenheit). When the outside temperature is very high, and we live directly in the sun or drink less water, the body has to work very hard to keep itself cool.
-
Overheating and sweating: The body starts sweating too much to keep itself cool. In this process, not only water, but also essential electrolytes (eg sodium, potassium) are removed from the body. These electrolytes are very important for keeping heartbeat and blood pressure normal.
-
Effect on blood pressure: Blood vessels begin to spread due to heat, which may cause a sudden decline in blood pressure. In addition, the heart has to pump more to deliver blood throughout the body.
-
Blood thick: Excessive sweating and dehydration makes the blood thick. Thick blood increases the pressure on the heart and the risk of blood clot (blood clot) in the veins increases. These clots can go to the veins of the heart and block them, which can cause cardiac arrest.
-
electrolyte imbalance: Lack of electrolytes (especially potassium and sodium) in the body can cause heartbeat irregular (Arithmia), which can cause direct cardiac arrest.
-
Pressure on kidney and liver: The heat also puts pressure on organs like kidney and liver, which makes them not fully capable of removing toxic elements from the body, and all of this has a bad effect on the heart.
-
Danger of heat stroke: If the body temperature quickly reaches above 40 ° C (104 Fahrenheit) and the body is not able to cool itself, it is called ‘heat stroke’. It is a medical emergency, which can immediately cause cardiac arrest or multiple organ failure.
