Heart patients refrain from shoveling snow. This was the appeal made on Monday, December 28, by the regional emergency emergencies agency of Lombardy after three people between Milan and Monza suffered a heart attack while they cleared the snow from the sidewalk. In addition to the man who fell ill at the center in the morning, similar cases occurred in Cernusco sul Naviglio (Milan) and Biassono (Mb).
The Milanese patient was taken in code red to the Fatebenefratelli hospital; the person who felt suddenly ill in Cernusco was transferred to the San Raffaele; while in the case of Biassono, the most serious, the patient did not resume cardiac activity autonomously during the journey by ambulance to San Gerardo in Monza.
“The cold itself narrows the blood vessels,” explains a doctor 118-. If you combine the effort of shoveling snow, with a greater demand for oxygen and therefore blood, the heart is here, especially if it is already in the presence of heart disease, it can go crazy “.
