Abstract

Climate change is one of the most significant threats to human health in the 21st century. Global climate change is part of human-induced global environmental changes caused by emissions of atmospheric greenhouse gases largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels aggravated by deforestation and ocean saturation. The change in climatic conditions has a significant impact on human health, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Climatic stress is anticipated to increase direct and indirect risks to human cardiac health via different pathways and mechanisms. This review aims to explore this relationship and understand the impact of global climate change on cardiac health in humans. The article intends to inspire the readers to advocate the importance of addressing the crisis caused by climate change and encourage communication about the health impacts of climate change.
