Due to the rise of the temperature worldwide, people nowadays are facing a more frequent, long-lasting, and hotter heat waves than they did several decades ago. It attracts the attention of researchers to embrace the problem existed in high temperature and cardiovascular disease. High temperature worldwide may become a potential risk factor that trigger cardiovascular diseases. The rise of temperature not only means that the world is getting hotter, but also may triggered various dangerous side effects and negative impacts to the ecosystem. This review describes the relationship between high temperature and cardiovascular diseases. After the research, the result indicated that there is a positive relationship between high temperature and cardiovascular disease. Many studies shown that high temperature has a great possibility to cause myocardial injury and heart failure due to the innate human sweating mechanisms. It is always hard to avoid the exposure to the heat during hot summer. However, the duration exposed to the heat is also crucial that people should also pay attention to.
