Climate Change Linked to Dramatic Rise in Heart Disease Over Next Quarter Century

Researchers have linked hot weather to an increased risk of cardiovascular issues, forecasting that heart disease could double or triple in the next 25 years if current climate trends continue, according to a new report. The report suggests that heat stress and other extreme weather events will become more frequent due to rising temperatures. This increase in heat-related illnesses may lead to a significant spike in heart disease cases worldwide. As a result, healthcare systems are expected to be overwhelmed by the growing number of cardiovascular patients.
