With Cheney's heart problems, doesn't he HAVE to wear heavy-duty cold weather gear? Can anyone here with a history of heart issues let me know if that's right?
he wore different stuff at inaguration, probably just as cold
"Children, the elderly and those with heart disease are at special risk. As people age, their ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature often decreases. Because elderly people seem to be relatively insensitive to moderately cold conditions, they can suffer hypothermia without knowing they're in danger.
"People with coronary heart disease often suffer chest pain or discomfort called angina pectoris (AN'jih-nah or an-JI'nah PEK'tor-is) when they're in cold weather. Some studies suggest that harsh winter weather may increase a person's risk of heart attack due to overexertion."
if he had a bad enough heart condition, then why did they send him to a cold weather memorial to begin with......that argument holds no merit
I have a heart condition, but I am not on blood thinners. I don't know if VP Cheney is on thinners or not.
I do know that I cannot tolerate being cold. My doctor told me I couldn't stand another winter in Buffalo.
