Short-Term Exposure to Low and High Temperatures and Mortality Among Patients With Heart Failure in Sweden
This nationwide Swedish time-stratified case-crossover study indicates that short-term exposure to both low and high temperatures was associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with heart failure. The mortality risk associated with high temperatures appears to be increasing over time, emphasizing the need for adaptation, even in high-latitude regions.
