HeatRisk and air quality risk recommendations: A narrative review and action algorithm for the care of people at risk for and living with cardiovascular disease.
Review in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2027. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide and is influenced by climate change-related exposures. Non-optimal temperature and poor air quality exposure worsens cardiovascular outcomes, particularly for individuals with preexisting cardiovascular disease. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Environmental Protection Agency recommend tools like HeatRisk and Air Quality Index, there is limited guidance for implementation in those with preexisting cardiovascular disease. This narrative review addresses this gap. Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, supplemented by snowballing to identify studies published between 2000 and 2025 related to the cardiovascular effects of temperature extremes and poor air quality. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were prioritized, particularly those that addressed risk factors such as pregnancy, obesity, geography, and socioeconomic status. Additional context was obtained from public health agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, and National Weather Service. The pathophysiology and risk factors were then applied to the existing guidance, recommendations, and algorithms of these agencies. Results: Non-optimal temperature and poor air quality are associated with an increased mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction. These exposures also worsen cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis. High-risk subgroups included women, older adults, residents of temperate climates, individuals taking certain medications, pregnant individuals, and those with socioeconomic or occupational exposure risk. Conclusions: Patients with cardiovascular disease should be counseled on the risks associated with non-optimal temperature and poor air quality. It is recommended that high risk individuals (risk score greater than or equal to three) should take precautions at HeatRisk Level 1 (Yellow) and/or the AQI ≥ 50, while moderate risk individuals (score less than two) should consider precautions at HeatRisk Level 2 (Orange) and/or AQI ≥ 100 (Central Illustration).
