Abstract
Background Arrhythmia, particularly atrial fibrillation, is on the rise globally. While increased surveillance, aging populations, and other risk factors partially explain this rise, emerging risks such as extreme heat from climate change are underexplored. Methods We used Product Surveillance Registry by Medtronic (2016–2023) in the United States to examine patients with implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator devices. We identified first arrhythmic episodes (atrial tachycardia/fibrillation [AT/AF] or ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation) reco
