Following a heat wave in January 2014 in Adelaide, state capital of South Australia, we
asked the question whether extreme heat was associated with an increase in stroke …

Despite consistent evidence of a higher short-term risk of stroke mortality associated with
ambient temperature, there are no findings on the association between extreme temperature …

Background This study aimed to explore the effects of heatwaves and cold spells on blood

Objectives The effect of ambient temperature as a stroke trigger is likely to differ by type of
stroke and to depend on non-transient exposures that influence the risk of this outcome. We …

Background During August 2003, Europe sustained a severe heat wave that resulted in 14
