Heart attacks and strokes rising with extreme weather events, research suggests
Research indicates that extreme weather events are contributing to an increase in heart attacks and strokes. The study, which analyzed data from over 8 million residents in Eastern Poland, found significant spikes in cardiovascular events during heat waves and cold snaps. Air pollution further exacerbates these health risks, leading to substantial life loss over the past decade.
- ▪Extreme weather is fueling a rise in heart attacks and strokes, particularly in Poland.
- ▪The study recorded over 573,000 major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events from 2011 to 2020.
- ▪Heat waves caused a 7.5% spike in major cardiovascular events on the same day, while cold waves had a delayed but sustained effect.
