Overview

This study shows elevated cardiovascular disease risk due to high temperatures in China, suggesting urgent public health interventions.

Key Points

  • Higher temperatures are linked to an increased risk of acute cardiovascular disease incidence.
  • Extreme heat exposure resulted in a cumulative relative risk of 1.17, with risk highest four days post-exposure.
  • The burden of heat-related cardiovascular disease is notably severe among those aged 65 and older, and rural populations.
  • Geographical variation in minimum incidence temperature offers targets for targeted climate adaptation strategies.
