Dr. Mukesh Goel, a Cardiac Surgeon at Delhi's Apollo Hospital, told Sputnik that in cold weather, even young people get heart attacks.
"It's a well-known fact that cold weather causes a jump in heart attacks. People should avoid exposure to extreme cold weather, especially the elderly and those with underlying risk factors like diabetes and hypertension or pre-existing heart conditions."
The need of the hour is to take precautionary measures to prevent oneself from strokes and attacks.
Dr. Goel suggested: "Apart from avoiding exposure to extremely cold weather, people should get regular health checks, keep blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels under control, stop smoking, drink in moderation, follow a healthy diet and get regular exercise."
