"Post-COVID Spike in Cardiovascular Deaths Despite Overall Decline"

A new report from the CDC and Northwestern University reveals an alarming increase in cardiovascular-related deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, reversing a 10-year downward trend. The span of cardiovascular deaths between 2020 and 2022 exceeded trend expectations by 228,000, with a 9.3% increase compared to an 8.9% decline from 2010 to 2019. Factors such as disrupted healthcare access, delayed treatment for heart issues, lifestyle changes, and a potential link between COVID-19 and increased heart disease risk are believed to have contributed to this concerning uptick. The CDC emphasizes the need to prioritize prevention and management of cardiovascular disease to address this issue.

Rising Extreme Heat Predicted to Cause Surge in Cardiovascular Deaths

Cardiovascular deaths in the United States due to extreme heat are projected to double or triple by mid-century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced, according to a study published in the journal Circulation. The study found that elderly and black adults are most at risk for cardiovascular death from extreme heat. Even with currently proposed reductions in emissions, cardiovascular deaths from extreme heat are projected to be 162% higher by the middle of the century compared to the baseline from 2008-2019. Without reductions in emissions, the increase could be as high as 233%. The study highlights the need for aggressive policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address health disparities.

Rising Temperatures Set to Triple Heat-Related Cardiovascular Deaths in the US

A study supported by the National Institutes of Health predicts that cardiovascular-related deaths due to extreme heat will increase in the United States between 2036 and 2065. Older adults and Black adults are expected to be disproportionately affected, as they often have underlying health conditions and face socioeconomic barriers that can influence their health. The study estimates that each summer, about 71 to 80 days will feel 90 degrees or hotter, leading to a projected increase in annual heat-related cardiovascular deaths from 1,651 to 4,320 for the general population. The number of deaths could more than triple if greenhouse gas emissions rise significantly. The researchers emphasize the importance of taking extra steps to avoid extreme temperatures, especially for those with underlying health risks.
