Dr. Joy Shome, Cardiologist at BM Birla Heart Hospital, warns that heatwaves can put serious strain on the heart, especially for those with existing heart conditions. As the body tries to cool down by sweating, it loses fluids, making the heart work harder to pump blood. This can lead to a faster heartbeat, thicker blood, and a higher risk of heart attacks or strokes. People taking medicines like diuretics are more vulnerable, as heat can disturb vital electrolytes and cause dangerous heart rhythm problems. Staying hydrated and avoiding extreme heat is key to protecting your heart health.
