title: I am a heart attack survivor who takes medication for hypertension and high cholesterol, both of which seem to be managed well. I often hear about the dangers of overdoing it in cold weather, such as too much snow shoveling, but I wonder about what precautions heart patients should take in very hot weather. What sort of strain is the heat putting on my heart?
