Take Precautions for Your Heart This Holiday Season

Its a time of celebrations, with holiday toasts and feasts marking the gathering of families and the close of another year. Its also a time when much of the world endures cold temperatures and snowy driveways. And as cardiologists can attest, those factors mark a period when your heart health is at considerable risk. For example, people with no known heart disease or structural heart disease who imbibe in alcohol to excess are at risk of whats commonly called, "holiday heart syndrome."
