NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The winter season is the time when heart attacks are increasing and its rate is 53% higher in winter than in the summer, according to new research findings.

Low temperature causes high blood pressure and blood density tends to increase in cold weather.

According to the study published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, strokes are 11% higher for each temperature drop of 2.9 degrees Celsius.

The rate increases by 30% in people with cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, and hypertension.

In addition to increased blood density and high cold weather pressures, the incidence of influenza increases during the winter, resulting in infections of the body that affect the health of the heart.

Vitamin D is less likely to occur during the winter season, and evidence suggests that a vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of stroke and stroke.
