BORJA VOCES: And look, speaking of Christmas, the celebration of these holidays, and the celebration of the new year, can be marred by what represents the biggest cause of death among adults these days, and that is cardiac arrest. Well, to talk about this topic we´re connecting with cardiologist, Doctor Jorge Bordenave.

DR. JORGE BORDENAVE: During Christmas, until January first, there is an increase in the level of stress, people are buying gifts, family visits from afar, they have to travel away from home. The quality of food, they are eating a lot of food, in all quantities; They're not exercising. These are all factors that we believe that increase the incidence of cardiovascular heart attacks during Christmas.
