Nonlinear relation between cardiac mortality and excess temperature in heatwaves: Exposure response in 2.39 million patients. Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Investigates the relationship between cardiac mortality and excess temperature during heatwaves. Analyzing 2.39 million heart disease death records across China from 2013 to 2019, the study identifies varying mortality risks associated with different types of heatwaves: daytime-only, nighttime-only, and compound (both day and night). The research reveals that compound heatwaves pose the highest risk, with a significant, steady increase in heart disease mortality across the entire range of excess cumulative temperatures, unlike the other types that exhibit risk thresholds.
