Cardiovascular disease jumps after snowfall

Snow can impact people with heart disease.

A new Harvard study found hospital admission for cardiovascular disease drops on days with major snow falls, but jumps by 23 percent two days later.

Researchers say this two-day delay in admissions could reflect difficulties in getting to the hospital in bad weather.

Studies have shown that shoveling heavy snow could be taxing on weak hearts.
