The Relationship Between Urban Heat Islands and Cardiovascular Events

Abstract

This study probes the way Urban Heat Islands connect to spikes in cardiovascular troubles among city dwellers. It asks how much extra strain the hottest patches of pavement and concrete give hearts during summertime heat surges. A mixed-methods plan-hitching weather logs, satellite readings, and hospital charts together-seeks to pin down that causal thread beyond mere correlation. Early numbers show that warmer nights in UHI zones crank up the risk clock, pushing rates of heart attack, stroke, and pump failure higher than in cooler boroughs. The takeaway nudges planners toward more trees, reflective roofs, and pop-up chill stations so the most heat-sensitive residents can breathe easier when the thermometer won-t quit.
