Predicted impact of increasing average ambient temperature over the coming century on mortality from cardiovascular disease and stroke in the USA

Future climate change may adversely impact human health. The direct effects of extreme hot temperatures on mortality are well established, and their future impact well modelled. However, less extreme changes in ambient temperature (Ta) have been previously associated with increased mortality from circulatory and metabolic diseases, but their future impact is less clear.
