  "textContent": "A team of Emory researchers recently found scientific evidence that the well-known health risks of extreme heat can have especially severe consequences for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. They made their discovery by correlating the National Weather Service's Historical HeatRisk data, a scoring system based on daily temperatures and mortality-linked temperature thresholds developed for each of the weather stations in the U.S., with 10 years of cardiovascular encounters over the warm weather months at three Emory hospitals.",
