The rapidly dropping mercury levels have been known to be particularly unkind to heart patients.
“Forty years ago I was cricket captain, shot put champion, expert javelin thrower when I was in college, I want to get back to my old active life,” says a heart patient, Dhruv Sharma.
Bur for a man who has undergone an angioplasty less than 24 hours ago, 61-year-old Dhruva's enthusiasm is infectious.
"In cold weather arteries tend to get constricted and this can prove to be particularly harmful for heart patients,” says Director of Cardiology, Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai, Dr Ashwin B Mehta.
