Summary

This completed study looked at how rising temperatures affect people with chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Researchers in Germany and Italy surveyed 176 patients to see what symptoms they experienced during heat and what protective steps they took. The goal was to understand which patients are most at risk and how to better support them during hot weather.
