Heat and cardiovascular system. Ageev F.T., Smirnova M.D. and etc.

The book is devoted to an urgent, but still poorly studied problem: the influence of climatic factors, namely an abnormal heat, on human health. It includes data from epidemiological and clinical studies that reflect the effects of heat waves on the incidence and mortality of the population. The definition and criteria of the concept of “wave of heat” are given, the mechanisms of adaptation and maladaptation of the body of healthy people and patients with cardiovascular diseases to high temperatures are considered, and the risk factors for the development of complications are identified. A separate chapter is devoted to thermal diseases. Particular attention is paid to the methods of preventing the negative effects of heat waves on the course of cardiovascular diseases. The influence of the main groups of cardiopolis, such as ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, statins, etc., on the body of the patients taking them during the heat. A separate section is devoted to the possibility of using drugs with adaptogenic properties (Panangin, Mildronate, Kudesan, Afobazole) in order to level the negative effects of heat on the condition of the cardiovascular system and the quality of life of patients with cardiovascular diseases.
