Temperature spike might exacerbate existing heart disease among men - Video
|
Overview
A recent study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session, revealed that extreme heat accounted for about 600-700 additional deaths from cardiovascular disease annually. The spike in deaths during heat waves was most pronounced in men suggesting climate change may exacerbate existing heart disease disparities for these groups in the coming years. This study is the first to assess trends in heart disease deaths during extreme heat events.
