Sudden, unexpected death without any warning signs!Break down common misconceptions about cardiac health!

A sudden, unexpected cardiac death occurs when there are no warning signs, the most common among which is coronary artery disease, which is frequently brought on by advanced age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, vices (such as smoking, drinking, being obese, and absence of exercise), a family history, etc. Blood vessel blockage results from plaque that accumulates in blood vessels.

It was previously believed that patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia were at a higher risk of sudden unexpected death during cold weather.

However, according to foreign research, more cases of sudden and unexpected death occur indoors rather than outdoors, owing to the fact that these high-risk groups rarely go outside in cold weather and overlook the importance of staying warm at home. Having said that, bathrooms and areas with connected windows tend to be the same temperature as outside in the early morning. The temperature difference stimulates the sympathetic nerves, causing blood pressure to contract, resulting in elevated blood pressure, accelerated heartbeats, and an increased risk of stroke or myocardial infarction.

As a result, Dr. Lin Wei-Wen of the Division of Cardiology and Cardiac Catheterization Room at Taiwan Adventist Hospital advised that if chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms appear, seek medical attention as soon as possible and schedule a checkup to avoid cardiovascular disease!
