Special Precautions For Your Heart During The Winter
Topic Info
The colder days ahead may mean that people are not only more susceptible to getting the cold or flu, but also having a heart attack. Dr. Henry joins Dr. DeSilva to explain that researchers believe it’s because as the temperature goes down, blood pressure rises, making blood thicker and working the heart harder.
