Patients with heart disease lost 1.5 kg in a short period as a result of heat waves
from global warming could have a detrimental effect on heart disease patients. According to the report, heart patients lost 1.5 kg weight during the heat waves between 1 June and 20 September 2019, indicating a worsening condition. The study is published today in ESC Heart Failure, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology progressive condition in which the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen.
The report included 1,420 patients with chronic heart failure. The median age of the participants was 73 years, 28% were women, and the average weight was 78 kg. Researchers analyzed the relationship betweenand air temperature between 1 June and 20 September 2019, which covered the two heatwaves at the end of June and the end of July.
A national telemonitoring system was used to obtain information on weight and symptoms remotely. Patients weighed themselves daily using a connected weighing scale that automatically sent measurements to the clinic. Patients reported daily symptoms such as edema, fatigue, breathlessness, and cough by answering questions on a personal device , with answers sent automatically to the clinic. Daily temperatures were obtained using data from the closest weather station to each patient's home.as the temperature increased. The most vital relationship was found with temperatures two days before the weight measurement.
"The weight loss we observed during the heatwave was clinically relevant. Patients weighing 78 kg lost 1.5 kg in a short period. We were surprised to see that weight dropped with hot temperatures, as we had expected the opposite. For this reason, the telemonitoring system was programmed to alert clinicians when patients gained weight."are correlated with weight loss. But this could be due to diuretics, which lead to excessive water loss from the body.
