ABC15 Health Insider Dr. Shad Marvasti says the bottom line is those stressors are causing the body to work a lot harder.
A new study is showing extreme heat and high pollution are a one-two punch for heart health and that the risk of a heart attack doubles on days when we see both weather and air pollution alerts.
The study put out by the American Heart Association looked at 200,000 heart attack deaths, tracking temperatures and pollution on case days. It climbed to a 74% higher risk during four-day heat waves when the temperatures climbed between 94-109º. "That can make sense to everybody if you think about the impact heat has on your car and when it's overworked, if you've ever had a radiator on your car overheating," he said."If you have underlying risk factors and underlying narrowing of arteries to your heart when you strain, it that causes your body to do more to compensate.
