While stating the study of Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the Advisory underlines that 10 million people globally experience disability and 500,000 deaths occur annually due to low temperatures.

It notes that cold weather has been established as a critical factor triggering both minor and major heart attacks by causing blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure and the workload on the heart.

Additionally, exposure to cold can exacerbate respiratory tract infections, further stressing cardiovascular health.

Air pollution has been identified as another key risk factor for heart attacks, contributing to systemic inflammation and impaired cardiovascular function.

People at higher risk, including those with hypertension (HTN), diabetes, obesity, a history of smoking, previous heart attacks, or heart failure, are advised to take extra precautions during winter months.

It advises people to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature using adequate heating besides wear warm clothing, including hats, gloves, and insulated footwear, when venturing outdoors.
