According to the statement, the two cardiac arrests involved people working at the show.
Over the weekend, Ed Sheeran played a concert at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium, and 17 people were hospitalized, many due to the heat.
“Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS personnel working during the Ed Sheeran concert received 37 calls for service, with 17 transports to the hospital,” according to a. “The transports were for heat-related issues, some falls, one seizure, and two cardiac arrests.” A paramedic leaving the concert went into cardiac arrest and an employee dismantling the stage also experienced cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest can occur as a complication of heat stroke, according to the American Academy of Cardiology. A 2022 study in the journal CJC Open noted that as temperatures increase worldwide due to climate change, it's likely people will experience more stress on their cardiovascular system, and those with cardiovascular disease might be at increased risk for heat stroke.
Spending too much time outdoors in hot weather can cause someone to experience heat stroke, “the most serious heat-related illness,” says theWhen someone develops heat stroke, they can’t control their body’s temperature. In same cases, it can spike to more than 106 degrees in as little as 15 minutes, per the CDC. At the same time, a person in a heat stroke is no longer able to sweat, which normally helps lower body temperature. This combination can be deadly.
