Summer Heart Attacks
By Charles Platkin 'The Diet Detective'
Weekend Warriors beware! heart attacks and all other cardiac problems occur in the summer months just as often as during the winter. According to Dr. Jack Flyer, of CardioCare, a Washington, DC based medical practice focusing on wellness and preventative patient care, "Heat Stroke is a condition that causes the body's core temperature to rise. This heat can cause end-organ damage directly and can also cause symptoms, such as fast pulse, that can seconarily cause a heart attack. It can also lead to dangerous arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). The signs of heat stoke are fast heart rate, confusion, shortness of breath and cessation of sweating." Also, watch out for dehydration, which Dr. Flyer says is a close relative of heat stroke.
