The earth's climate is changing and increasing ambient heat levels are emerging in large areas of the world. An important cause of this change is the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases. Climate changes have a variety of negative effects on health, including cardiac health. People with pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease (including heart failure), people carrying out physically demanding work and the elderly are particularly vulnerable. This review evaluates the evidence base for the cardiac health consequences of climate conditions, with particular reference to increasing heat exposure, and it also explores the potential further implications.
地球气候正在变化，全球大片地区的环境热量水平不断上升。这种变化的一个重要原因是温室气体的人为排放。气候变化对健康有多种负面影响，包括对心脏健康的影响。患有心血管疾病（包括心力衰竭）等既往病史的人、从事体力要求高的工作的人以及老年人尤其脆弱。本综述评估了气候条件对心脏健康影响的证据基础，特别提及热量暴露增加的情况，并探讨了其潜在的进一步影响。
