Heading off Winter Heart Attacks, need for focus and attention: Dr Sushil
10/30/2022 10:25:48 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Oct 30: To strengthen their Campaign further to aware the common populace about the ill effects of Cardiovascular diseases Dr Sushil and his team held a day long camp at Project Model High Secondary School, Pamposh Colony , Janipur. More than 250 people were screened, evaluated, diagnosed and free medicines were given to the needy. The Main aim was to spread the awareness regarding cardiac ailments and to screen high risk individuals. People of all age groups and communities participated and they were educated about the rising prevalence of cardiac ailments in winter season also and ways to decrease the same.
While interacting with the People Dr Sushil stated that Cold weather is the most common health risk encountered in the winter, but people often view the danger in the extreme, as hypothermia or frostbite. However, the drop in temperature can impact our health, specifically heart, in ways one may not expect. The main risk factor is biological: cold causes blood vessels to contract, which can raise blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Angina, or chest pain due to coronary heart disease, can also worsen in winter when coronary arteries constrict in the cold. Furthermore, heart has to work extra hard to maintain a healthy body temperature, and winter wind can make this even more difficult because it causes the body to lose heat more quickly. If body temperature drops below 95 degrees, hypothermia can damage the heart muscle. Lifestyle changes, particularly physical activity, can impact risk as well
He further stated that CVD is the number one cause of death worldwide. Seasonal variation in morbidity and mortality due to CVDs has been noted in both the northern and southern hemispheres, with higher incidence rates during the winter than in the summer. This variation linked with multiple risk factors, such as temperature, physical activity, air pollution, infections, and food habits. Another potentially important seasonal risk factors such as seasonal variation in the plasma level of fibrinogen, cholesterol, Hormones and vasoactive substance.
He added that the risk of cardiovascular diseases appears to be the greatest during the winter months, particularly in elderly people. The knowledge of the role of environmental and biological factors could be used to improve prevention measures and educational strategies, especially in people with a risk of diseases. Further he elaborated that people should be informed of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease during the cold seasons, and educated about the importance of regular physical activity and dressing warmly in winter. Furthermore, people should be motivated to maintain health dietary habits including a nutrient rich in vitamin D and low fat intake.
Seasonal variation in sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been well documented by several epidemiological studies with maximum and minimum incidences in winter and summer. While, few studies, observed a different seasonal peak in the onset of SCD characterized by a higher frequency in the summer months. The exact cause of this variation is unknown, but it is believed that a combination of external and internal factors such as cold weather, increased platelet aggregability, decreased fibrinolytic activity, and other blood components involved in thrombogenesis may be an important risk factor in bringing on the onset of SCD in winter., He added .
Prominent Member of the area Shri Rajinder Sharma ( Mayor JMC), Surinder Sharma ( Corporator ), Sunita Gupta ( Corporator) , Omi Khajuria (Kisaan Morcha President), Tara Chand, Robin Ji ,Ashish Sharma , Ajay Manhas , Raveesh Ji , Sanjay Bakshi , Ashwani kaushal, Rajinder Singh Slathia and Raj Kumar Bhan appreciated the selfless efforts of Dr. Sushil and his team in extending quality healthcare and expressed hope that such outreach program could be a regular feature in future.
