本文叙述了1975年8月美国纽约市发生的一次短热浪中有关死亡率的调查结果。绝大多数死亡的人，如果没有热浪就不会死亡，是患有潜在器质性疾病的老年人，不分男女，也不分肤色。缺血性心脏病是造成过多死亡的最主要原因。预防措施，以减少死亡率在未来的热浪进行了讨论。
The findings relating to mortality during a short heat wave in New York City, USA in Aug. 1975, are described. The very great majority of those who died, who would not have died if there were no heat wave, were elderly people of both sexes and irrespective of color who had underlying organic disease. Ischemic heart disease was the most prominent cause of excess deaths. Prophylactic measures to reduce mortality in future heat waves are discussed.
