They highlight increased risks for individuals with heart, lung, kidney, and metabolic conditions due to constricted blood vessels, reduced water intake, and increased salt consumption. Experts urge for a 'cold action plan' similar to heat waves to protect vulnerable populations and advise patients to adhere to medication and monitor vital signs.
