Cardiovascular disease burden attributable to non-optimal temperature: analysis of the 1990–2019 global burden of disease

The paper discusses the relationship between non-optimal temperature and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and presents the first-to-date quantification of the global temperature-related CVD burden. Key findings include: Non-optimal temperatures were responsible for a significant proportion of global cardiovascular deaths between 1990 and 2019.People in lower socioeconomic regions were more vulnerable to the effects of non-optimal temperature on CVD than those in higher socioeconomic regions.
