The projected doubling of the burden of cardiovascular disease due to extreme heat in Australia by 2050 is alarming and underscores the urgent need for action on climate change. As temperatures rise, we can expect more frequent and intense heatwaves, which can exacerbate existing health conditions, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly or those with pre-existing cardiovascular issues.
Public health strategies must be prioritized, including increasing awareness about the risks of extreme heat, improving access to healthcare, and developing heat response plans to protect at-risk communities. Additionally, investing in urban infrastructure, such as green spaces and cooling centers, can help mitigate the effects of heat. Addressing climate change holistically through policy and community engagement is essential to reduce both its immediate and long-term health impacts.
