Heat waves have been associated with circulatory disease morbidity and mortality in different locations, especially in groups considered vulnerable. This thesis present studies on the characteristics of heat waves and addressed its effects on circulatory diseases in Brazilian capitals from 2000 to 2016. The first study aimed to examine the intensity, frequency and duration of heat wave events in the Brazilian capitals, through temporal series analysis, it was possible to characterize the occurrence of heat waves, the results showed that they are more frequent, lasting and intense and occur throughout the year, including winter in cities in the Southeast and South regions. The second study aimed to identify the Brazilian capitals that presented thermal discomfort for the population, through the characterization of the heat index. The results showed that using the apparent temperature definitions and comfort and thermal discomfort of the human comfort diagram, most capitals were found conditions of discomfort for human health. Some capitals located in the Southeast and South had conditions defined by thermal comfort. The third study aimed to estimate the effects of heat waves on the mortality of the circulatory system in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro in 2010. Time series analysis was used to estimate the percentage of relative risk (%RR) of the effect of heat waves on adult mortality from ≥ 30 years of age. The results of this study showed the increase of %RR in DAC mortality associated with heat waves in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The fourth study aimed to estimate the effects of heat waves on mortality from cardiovascular disease in Brazilian capitals, timely series analysis was used to estimate the percentage of relative risk (%RR) of the effect of heat waves on mortality of adults ≥ 30 years of age. The results indicate an association between heat waves and mortality from cerebrovascular diseases and ischemic heart disease in the adult population. The findings of this study set allow you to conclude that heat waves are more frequent, intense and lasting in Brazilian capitals and circulatory diseases are associated with this phenomenon.
