Hot sun, high humidity and well-being do not improve.
In the heat of the heart faces an additional burden – vessels dilate, the pressure falls.
To ensure normal blood flow it works in the strengthened mode. So in the summer it is important to pay special attention to the health of the heart and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
It should not be forgotten that the negative impact on the heart has not only the hot weather and atmospheric pressure fluctuations, but the wrong way of life. Inadequate sleep and insufficient physical activity, harmful habits (alcohol, Smoking), stress at work, the extra weight is enough to the heart of even a healthy person to have experienced overload. How to maintain a healthy heart, especially in the summer heat?.. This will help the simple rules.

You should also pay attention to the following points.
General overheating provokes increased heart rate
Because the blood supply to the heart muscle is different from feeding other tissues of the body, the increased heart rate is not conducive to the flow of blood to the heart and increase supply it with oxygen, and, on the contrary, reduces it. This can cause the development of angina.
Therefore, avoid overheating and visit a cardiologist. In such cases, doctors prescribe drugs that normalize heart rhythm, from the group of beta-blockers.
Overheating of the body causes pressure differences
Blood pressure can how to dramatically increase, which can lead to the occurrence of vascular disease and the separation of already formed clots, or decrease, up to fainting.
In the case of increasing pressure assigned appropriate antihypertensive drugs, regular intake of which contributes most to the health of the cores.
At an abrupt decrease of blood pressure is recommended to drink sweet tea or coffee.
Do not allow sharp fluctuations of temperatures
Changes in temperature often occur during the summer when you exit the air-conditioned area on a hot street, in the adoption of a contrast shower or bathing in cold river or sea.
Such temperature fluctuations can trigger the development of so-called “cold pain”, which represents the occurrence of pain in the heart area, caused by the sharp contraction of blood vessels in the cold.
To avoid this painful condition, enter the water gradually and do not swim if the water temperature is below 22 degrees.
Avoid air conditioners
People suffering from chronic heart failure are prone to diseases of bronchitis and pneumonia, so it is strictly contraindicated to be directly next to a working AC.
Maintain a sensible fluid intake
Consumption in hot weather excess water leads to an increase circulating in the body fluid, which causes shortness of breath, swelling and other painful symptoms.
Inadequate fluid intake leads to blood clots and the formation of blood clots.
Remember, the daily volume of fluid includes not only water and beverages, but also soups, garnishes, fruit, etc.
In the heat it is necessary to take prescribed drugs to reduce the risk of thrombosis.
