Heart attacks and other cardiac events are more common during the winter holidays than any other time of the year. Details
Heart attacks are more common this time of year. Research shows there’s an uptick in cardiac events in the winter.
According to the American Heart Association, more people die from heart attacks between Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 than any other time of the year. “People forget their medication when they're traveling, people aren't taking things as religiously. They're not compliant, the diets are different. You have holiday parties, office parties,” said Doctor Jeffrey Park, an interventional structural cardiologist with the Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates at the Medical Center of Aurora. “You’re drinking more, you're eating differently. It's the combination of everything that kind of factors into it, I think.
“It’s all the context of when things happen. I think exertional symptoms are more eye-opening than rest symptoms,” said Park.Signs of a heart attack can look different in men and women. According to The Heart Foundation, common symptoms in men are chest pain, shortness of breath and discomfort or tingling in the arms, back, shoulder, or neck. Additionally in women, symptoms include sudden dizziness, cold sweat, nausea and a heartburn-like feeling.
Experts say it’s best to take it easy. High stress can cause inflammation in the body. Rest can be beneficial.
