Eh, I feel like this is a bit misleading. Cortisol is bad for your heart. Unusually high or low temperatures causing stress makes sense. As far as I know people living in the extremes on our planet don't have worse hearts.
For warmer climates, they're generally probably better off if you can ignore the cortisol/stress of climactic shifts you and this article mentioned. The theory I've heard thrown around is that in general the warmth acts as a natural vasodilator.
Inuit people actually had significantly lower heart disease than the rest of the world until recently. Smoking increased in the population along with lifestyle changes.
What is this in regular normal units (not "freedom" units)?
