Climate Change Vulnerability and Opportunities for Adaptive Capacity in Patients with Heart Failure in an Ambulatory Setting.

A sizable portion of survey respondents indicated they would benefit from discussing their heat illness risk with their clinicians, and many underestimated their personal risk of heat illness. Additionally, multiple vulnerability factors were highly prevalent and knowledge gaps were demonstrated in this population. Our findings support adaptive capacity opportunities through heat illness education, anticipatory guidance, and increased resource awareness for patients with heart failure in an ambulatory setting.
