The smoke poses significant risks to cardiovascular health, increasing the likelihood of cardiac arrest and complications related to heart disease, especially when combined with extreme heat. Beyond the heart, wildfire smoke can trigger brain inflammation, potentially contributing to conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and mood disorders, and is associated with higher stroke rates.
