Even though traditionally the cardiovascular diseases have been related to cold weather and winter, “the high temperatures can also result dangerous for patients with cardiovascular pathologies”, claims Carmen de Pablo, president of the Preventive Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology, who alerts that in the summer months, when high temperatures persist during several days, the patients with cardiovascular pathology can suffer worsening of their disease.

Nieves Tarín, associate editor of the magazine Heart and Health and member of the Spanish Foundation of the Heart.“The liquid most healthy and favourable for cardiovascular health is water with low levels of sodium” – states Dra. Tarin - as well as the fruit juices and the isotonic drinks after exercise. However, the fuzzy and alcoholic drinks must be avoided by patients with cardiovascular diseases.
