Cold-weather snow shoveling raises heart attack risk; experts urge caution, especially for older adults and those with heart conditions.
Doctors in Northeast Wisconsin and North Dakota are warning residents about the heightened risk of heart attacks from shoveling snow, especially in cold weather.
Heavy, wet snow—called "heart attack snow"—demands intense physical effort, straining the cardiovascular system.
Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or over 55 are urged to avoid shoveling and instead use snowblowers or ask for help.
Experts recommend pushing snow instead of lifting, taking frequent breaks, staying hydrated, and stopping immediately if chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness occurs.
Proper gear, early shoveling, and awareness of warning signs can reduce risks.
