Episode Details

When the heat hits, your heart’s working overtime—and that’s no joke. Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco warns that extreme heat can trigger heart attacks, strokes, and dangerous rhythms, especially for those with heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues, obesity, or age-related vulnerabilities. Don’t ignore chest pain, shortness of breath, racing or skipped beats, confusion, or fainting—these are red flags needing immediate care. But the good news? You can dodge disaster by staying hydrated, avoiding intense activity during peak heat, seeking shade, wearing light clothing, and cutting back on alcohol. Protecting your heart in the heat isn’t optional—it’s essential.
