Metro News readers can’t say they weren’t warned! In today’s edition, an article revealed the dangers of dreadful snow shovelling!
A recent study from researchers at Queen’s University in Kingston (Ontario), published in the journal Clinical Research in Cardiology, revealed that many patients with heart problems experienced the first symptoms after shovelling snow. An article published by Harvard University further explains how sudden exertion, such as shovelling, can put a big strain on the heart and make blood more likely to clot, which can lead to an heart attack.

No doubt. My grandfather just had triple bypass surgery, but luckily it wasn’t because he suffered from a heart attack. They noticed the problem before he had one. If he were to go out shoveling though before they found this problem, he probably wouldn’t be with us anymore. Get some radiant heat under your concrete and you won’t have to worry about shoveling. The snow will just melt away.
Wow, I’m embarrassed to say, I’m not too familiar with this process. But I will certainly be investigating this further. Seems like a great solution to the time and energy that must be expended after a major snow storm.
Will be showing this article to my father, which at the age of 72 thinks that he can go through the snow like superman.
