    Abstract Importance: The number of extreme heat events is increasing because of climate change. Previous studies showing an association between extreme heat and higher mortality rates generally have been limited to urban areas, and whether there is heterogeneity across different populations is not well studied; understanding whether this association varies across different communities, particularly minoritized racial and ethnic groups, may allow for more targeted mitigation efforts.
    Objective: To the assess the association between extreme heat and all-cause mortality rates in the US.
    Design, setting, and participants: This cross-sectional study involved a longitudinal analysis of the association between the number of extreme heat days in summer months from 2008 to 2017 (obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Environmental Public Health Tracking Program) and county-level all-cause mortality rates (obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics), using a linear fixed-effects model across all counties in the contiguous US among adults aged 20 years and older. Data analysis was performed from September 2021 to March 2022.
    Exposures: The number of extreme heat days per month. Extreme heat was identified if the maximum heat index was greater than or equal to 90 °F (32.2 °C) and in the 99th percentile of the maximum heat index in the baseline period (1979 to 2007).
    Main outcomes and measures: County-level, age-adjusted, all-cause mortality rates.
    Results: There were 219 495 240 adults aged 20 years and older residing in the contiguous US in 2008, of whom 113 294 043 (51.6%) were female and 38 542 838 (17.6%) were older than 65 years. From 2008 to 2017, the median (IQR) number of extreme heat days during summer months in all 3108 counties in the contiguous US was 89 (61-122) days. After accounting for time-invariant confounding, secular time trends, and time-varying environmental and economic measures, each additional extreme heat day in a month was associated with 0.07 additional death per 100 000 adults (95% CI, 0.03-0.10 death per 100 000 adults; P = .001). In subgroup analyses, greater increases in mortality rates were found for older vs younger adults (0.19 death per 100 000 individuals; 95% CI, 0.04-0.34 death per 100 000 individuals), male vs female adults (0.12 death per 100 000 individuals; 95% CI, 0.05-0.18 death per 100 000 individuals), and non-Hispanic Black vs non-Hispanic White adults (0.11 death per 100 000 individuals; 95% CI, 0.02-0.20 death per 100 000 individuals).
    Conclusions and relevance: These findings suggest that from 2008 to 2017, extreme heat was associated with higher all-cause mortality in the contiguous US, with a greater increase noted among older adults, men, and non-Hispanic Black individuals. Without mitigation, the projected increase in extreme heat due to climate change may widen health disparities between groups.

    Abstract Background: Extreme-heat events are increasing as a result of climate change. Prior studies, typically limited to urban settings, suggest an association between extreme heat and cardiovascular mortality. However, the extent of the burden of cardiovascular deaths associated with extreme heat across the United States and in different age, sex, or race and ethnicity subgroups is unclear.
    Methods: County-level daily maximum heat index levels for all counties in the contiguous United States in summer months (May-September) and monthly cardiovascular mortality rates for adults ≥20 years of age were obtained. For each county, an extreme-heat day was identified if the maximum heat index was ≥90 °F (32.2 °C) and in the 99th percentile of the maximum heat index in the baseline period (1979-2007) for that day. Spatial empirical Bayes smoothed monthly cardiovascular mortality rates from 2008 to 2017 were the primary outcome. A Poisson fixed-effects regression model was estimated with the monthly number of extreme-heat days as the independent variable of interest. The model included time-fixed effects and time-varying environmental, economic, demographic, and health care-related variables.
    Results: Across 3108 counties, from 2008 to 2017, each additional extreme-heat day was associated with a 0.12% (95% CI, 0.04%-0.21%;
    Conclusions: Extreme-heat days were associated with higher adult cardiovascular mortality rates in the contiguous United States between 2008 and 2017. This association was heterogeneous among age, sex, race, and ethnicity subgroups. As extreme-heat events increase, the burden of cardiovascular mortality may continue to increase, and the disparities between demographic subgroups may widen.

    Abstract Background: Climate change is causing an increase in extreme heat. Individuals with cardiovascular disease are at high risk of heat-related adverse health effects. How the burden of extreme heat-associated cardiovascular deaths in the United States will change with the projected rise in extreme heat is unknown.
    Methods: We obtained data on cardiovascular deaths among adults and the number of extreme heat days (maximum heat index ≥90 °F [32.2 °C]) in each county in the contiguous United States from 2008 to 2019. Based on representative concentration pathway trajectories that model greenhouse gas emissions and shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) that model future socioeconomic scenarios and demographic projections, we obtained county-level projected numbers of extreme heat days and populations under 2 scenarios for the midcentury period 2036 to 2065: SSP2-4.5 (representing demographic projections from a "middle-of-the-road" socioeconomic scenario and an intermediate increase in emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (demographic projections in an economy based on "fossil-fueled development" and a large increase in emissions). The association of cardiovascular mortality with extreme heat was estimated with a Poisson fixed-effects model. Using estimates from this model, the projected number of excess cardiovascular deaths associated with extreme heat was calculated.
    Results: Extreme heat was associated with 1651 (95% CI, 921-2381) excess cardiovascular deaths per year from 2008 to 2019. By midcentury, extreme heat is projected to be associated with 4320 (95% CI, 2369-6272) excess deaths annually, which is an increase of 162% (95% CI, 142-182) under SSP2-4.5, and 5491 (95% CI, 3011-7972) annual excess deaths, which is an increase of 233% (95% CI, 206-259) under SSP5-8.5. Elderly adults are projected to have a 3.5 (95% CI, 3.2-3.8) times greater increase in deaths in the SSP2-4.5 scenario compared with nonelderly adults. Non-Hispanic Black adults are projected to have a 4.6 (95% CI, 2.8-6.4) times greater increase compared with non-Hispanic White adults. The projected change in deaths was not statistically significantly different for other race and ethnicity groups or between men and women.
    Conclusions: By midcentury, extreme heat is projected to be associated with a significantly greater burden of excess cardiovascular deaths in the contiguous United States.

    Abstract Background By increasing cost sharing, high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) aim to reduce low-value health care use. The association of HDHPs with health care use and costs in patients with chronic cardiovascular disease is unknown. Methods and Results This longitudinal cohort study analyzed 57 690 privately insured patients, aged 18 to 64 years, from a large commercial claims database with chronic cardiovascular disease from 2011 to 2019. Health care entities in which all or most beneficiaries switched from being in a traditional plan to an HDHP were identified. A difference-in-differences design was used to account for differences between individuals who remained in traditional plans and those who switched to HDHPs and to assess changes in health care use and costs. Among the 934 individuals in the HDHP group and the 56 756 in the traditional plan group, switching to an HDHP was not associated with statistically significant changes in annual outpatient visits, hospitalizations, or emergency department visits (-8.3% [95% CI, -16.8 to 1.1], -28.5% [95% CI, -62.1 to 34.6], and 11.2% [95% CI, -20.9 to 56.5], respectively). Switching to an HDHP was associated with an increase of $921 (95% CI, $743-$1099) in out-of-pocket costs but no statistically significant difference in total health care costs. Conclusions Among commercially insured patients with chronic cardiovascular disease, switching to an HDHP was not associated with a change in health care use but was associated with an increase in out-of-pocket costs. Although health care use by individuals with chronic cardiovascular disease may not be sensitive to higher cost sharing associated with HDHP enrollment, there may be a significant increase in patients' financial burden.
