Tag: Heart Risks

For years scientists have studied how heat affects the human heart. However new research suggests that the most commonly used testing methods may not accurately reflect what happens during real-world heat waves. As climate change drives global temperatures higher understanding the true impact of extreme heat on heart function has become more crucial than ever. A groundbreaking study has uncovered key insights into how the human heart responds to heat stress. This findings could reshape how health agencies protect vulnerable populations during extreme weather events. The study analyzed data from over 400 laboratory studies involving more than 6,800 participants, revealing significant differences in how heating methods influence heart performance. Researchers find that exposure to enca...
