Tropical cyclones don't just shake buildings — they shake hearts too.
A powerful multicountry study in Science Advances links 🌊 storm exposure to a 13% rise in cardiovascular hospitalizations, especially ischemic heart disease and stroke.
Vulnerable groups? Men, adults aged 20–59, and socioeconomically deprived communities.
🧠 The risk peaks ~2 months post-cyclone and lasts up to 6 months.
🧭 It's time to rethink disaster response — beyond winds and water, to hearts and health equity.
