Critical Temperature Thresholds for Identifying Vulnerability to Heat‐Related Excess Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality

Temperature thresholds for cardiovascular mortality vary across temporal scales and CVD subtypes, with strongest associations for all CVD and coronary heart disease mortality. Integrating temperature-mortality relationships with community vulnerability profiles may support targeted heat warning systems and neighborhood-specific adaptation strategies.

Abstract

Temperature thresholds for cardiovascular mortality vary across temporal scales and CVD subtypes, with strongest associations for all CVD and coronary heart disease mortality. Integrating temperature-mortality relationships with community vulnerability profiles may support targeted heat warning systems and neighborhood-specific adaptation strategies.
