Hot Humid Days Can Spike Risk of Heart-Related Emergency
The Business Guardian
|August 17, 2025
Risk of an emergency visit to a hospital for a heart problem could be six times higher on hot and humid days, compared to hot days with low humidity, according to an analysis of over 3.4 lakh such visits during 2014-2019 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Researchers from Tulane University in the US and Bangladesh's National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases modeled the emergency visits made during summer months against historical data of temperature and humidity in Dhaka.
Findings published in the journal Science of The Total Environment reveal that while heat alone can heighten the risk of a heart-related emergency by 4.4 per cent, on most humid days — with relative humidity peaking at 82 per cent — the risk rose to 26.7 per cent.
