Exposure to extremely hot or cold temperatures raises a heart disease patient’s risk of dying, according to a new study.

Combing through four decades worth of global data on heart disease patients, the authors found that such extremes were collectively responsible for about 11.3 additional cardiovascular deaths for every 1,000 such incidents.

While the precise measure of weather extremes varied from city to city, the researchers defined this as the top and bottom 1 percent of the temperature at which the lowest death rate is achieved. Heart failure patients experienced 2.6 additional deaths on extreme hot days and 12.8 on extreme cold days, according to the study.

Khraishah and his colleagues acknowledged that their study had some limitations, including an underrepresentation of data from South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
