New research shows that rising temperatures can have serious effects on heart health. According to these studies, with a temperature increase of 5 degrees Celsius, the risk of heart disease sharply rises, reaching about 20 times.

Heat-Related Dangers

These findings indicate that heat not only affects quality of life but also endangers public health. Especially on hot summer days, individuals with heart problems or older adults should exercise greater caution.

Research also shows that rising temperatures can lead to increased blood pressure and heart rate, which in turn can lead to heart attacks. Therefore, paying attention to weather conditions and considering necessary precautions during these days is of special importance.
