🔥 Rising temperatures aren't just an environmental concern—they are a direct threat to your cardiovascular system.
I am honored to be featured in Asian Dispatch’s latest investigative piece, “Rising Heat in Asia: The Toll it Takes on Your Organs.
As extreme heatwaves become more frequent across Asia, the physical strain on our hearts grows significantly. In the article, I discussed how excessive ambient heat triggers blood vessel dilation, fluid loss, and electrolyte imbalances—factors that pose severe risks for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions, high blood pressure, or heart failure.
Key takeaways from our discussion:
▪️ Blood Pressure Fluctuations: Heat-induced dehydration and electrolyte loss can cause sudden drops in blood pressure.
▪️ Rhythm & Medication Risks: Persistent electrolyte imbalances can lead to irregular heart rhythms and heighten medication side effects.
▪️ Higher Vulnerability: A 1°C rise in temperature is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular-related complications.
Thank you to Asian Dispatch for raising critical awareness about the physiological impacts of climate change on public health.
