The Scientific Director of the State Cardiovascular Society of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Socerj), Claudio Tinoco, issued a warning regarding care with excessive heat. "When the temperature rises too much, we risk falling into dehydration and losing a lot of fluid." It forces the heart to work harder, blood pressure can drop, it increases the risk of fainting, that is, loss of consciousness, and people with heart problems can even have serious complications such as a stroke. (CVA) and even myocardial infarction. "

The warning issued serves as a point of attention in one of the most severe summers of recent years, especially in the south-east of the country, while in Rio de Janeiro exceeded 40 degrees until the 23rd of this month.

To live with this routine, you have to be careful.Avoid physical exercise at peak times because, according to the expert, may have effects " devastating "on the body, brain, kidneys, heart.This is what is called thermal stress, in which dehydration even compromises our ability to regulate body temperature.

" She loses too much fluid and can not lower the body's internal temperature, which can cause damage to the body. organism and can even contribute to death.

Claudio Tinoco recommends people wear light and light clothes, drink plenty of water, pay attention to body signals. "If it is brownish, darker, it means that the urine is very concentrated and the person is very dehydrated, "he says.

] Children and the elderly constitute a group at risk

The director of publications of the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SBACV), Julio Peclat, notes that two groups are more sensitive to problems at this time of year: children and the elderly, because of the loss of body fluid, which can be an important volume in the blood volume, ie in the total amount of blood in the body of children and the elderly [19659002] Peclat points out that this also happens an increase in the incidence of swelling in the legs. "The question of vasodilation caused by this heat causes patients, particularly those with higher varicose veins, to break these varicose veins.This bleeding is very common at this time of the year."

Julio Peclat has drawn attention to another effect related to the intense heat that is erysipelas. "These swellings are caused by a delay in the absorption of fluid in the lower limbs, which can lead to an opportunistic infection, often ringworm in the fingers or a crack in dehydrated skin.A bacterium can then move and cause called erysipelas and must be treated immediately to not complicate things. "

Another direction, even for those who work on the outside, is that every two hours they try to lift their legs a little . "Placing the lower limbs upward facilitates postural drainage of the limbs, thus avoiding any complications."

Moisturize the skin and mbadage it before going to bed. "This mbadage, in this movement, then helps to drain the veins and the lymphatic vessels, thus mitigating the possible complications of heat."

For men who wear suits and ties, as well as for women, the orientation of the director of the SBACV is the elastic socks. The doctor warns, however, that these socks must be prescribed by an angiologist to the patient and purchased from stockpiles of hospital equipment

The gastroenterologist Tábata Antoniaci recalls that it is always good to consume foods with higher concentration in water. Among them, lettuce, beetroot, cabbage, tomato, celery, radish, carom, cucumber, strawberry, watermelon and melon.
