Environmental Pollution: The effects of high temperature on cardiovascular admissions in the most populous tropical city in Vietnam

Climate change is a major public health threat due to the effect of extreme weather events on health . A significant increase in number of hospitalizations occurs in relation to exposure to high ambient temperature and previous studies have shown that one of the predominant causes of hospital admissions associated with high temperature is cardiovascular diseases (CVD) 
Conclusion: this study reports an increased risk of cardiovascular admissions in relation to high temperature and heatwave events in Ho Chi Minh City, the largest and most populous city in tropical Vietnam. The findings suggest that an additional prevention program that reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of deaths caused by non-communicable diseases, might be to establish public health preparedness and interventions to minimise the adverse effects of high temperatures. Further research should be conducted for better understanding of the roles of individual-level factors, which can involve modifying the relationship between temperature and cardiovascular morbidity
2010 -Vietnam is in record heat again: the announced temperatures were around 40-41oC (104-105.8oF), the actual outside temperatures usually went up to 45-46oC (113-114.8oF)

Lord Nicholas Stern

Today’s young people can and should hold their parents’ generation to account for their present actions. They can elicit an emotional response that can motivate action. If thinking about the lives of unborn future generations seems too abstract to motivate you to act, try instead looking a young child or grandchild in the eye and asking yourself what sort of future you are leaving for them. There is something that, on reflection, many adults would surely find repugnant in the idea that they will leave their children a damaged planet that will radically affect their life possibilities.

Kiribati President Anote Tong

"…I remember I had been trying to convince him to visit Kiribati and he did in 2011. He came to Kiribati and I remember he went to visit one of these communities that was flooded every time there is very high tides and there was this young boy who stepped up to the Secretary General and said Mr. Secretary General, you are a very important man you know, is there something that you can do to ensure I will have a future, that I will have a home. And the Secretary General came back and he said Mr. President I have been listening to you at the General Assembly but I never truly understood what it was you trying to communicate but now I do and I feel and I understand I would do everything that I can”
