The risk for a heart attack increases when shoveling snow
Unmute
PEORIA (WEEK) - Monday’s snowstorm left the region with plenty of snow, forcing many residents to pick up their shovels. Shoveling snow is an intense exercise and could send you to the emergency room as it is a known trigger for heart attacks.
When the enough snow has fallen -- many emergency rooms gear up for extra cardiac patients. Cold temperatures already increase the risk of a heart attack, but when you factor in snow shoveling, your chances double. Fortunately, there are ways to protect your heart.
Dr. Austin Lamb with OSF Emergency Medicine department says it is best to take frequent breaks while shoveling, especially if you are at risk for heart problems.

UConn Health received its initial COVID-19 vaccine shipment from Pfizer on Dec. 15, and that afternoon vaccinated its first 35 employees with their first of two doses of the vaccine, recommended to be administered three weeks apart.
