Extreme heat brought on by climate change could see cardiovascular deaths triple within 50 years, warns a new study.
In a scenario where only minimal efforts to reduce emissions were made, heat-influenced cardiovascular deaths - including by stroke and heart attack - could increase by as much as 233 percent over the next 13 to 47 years, scientists predict.
The research team behind the study, published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, warned deaths will be more prevalent among elderly and black populations.
Researchers predicting cardiovascular death rates brought on by elevated temperatures warn they could more than double across the United States.
Between 2008 and 2019, extreme heat in the US was associated with 1,651 excess cardiovascular deaths each summer.
How much - and how quickly - greenhouse gas emissions rise in the coming decades will have a profound effect on extreme heat and peoples' health.
The study, from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, previously examined county-by-county data in the US to demonstrate the link between a greater number of extreme heat days and an increase in cardiovascular deaths between 2008 and 2017.
This previous data formed a benchmark for the analysis in the new study, which used models for future greenhouse gas emissions as well as the future socioeconomic and demographic makeup of the US population to predict the possible impact between 2036 and 2065.
The analysis revealed that even if currently proposed reductions in emissions were fully implemented and adhered to, excess cardiovascular deaths due to extreme heat would be 162 percent higher by the middle of the century compared to the 2008-2019 baseline.
Even worse, if greenhouse gas emissions were not strictly implemented, excess cardiovascular deaths due to extreme heat would be projected to increase by 233 percent in the coming decades.
