Relative excess cardiovascular mortality with 95% CI (in parentheses) on warm days, defined as days with average (equivalent) temperature above the 90% quantile of the empirical distribution (≥°C), in Prague and southern Bohemia over 1994–2009. Values significantly different from zero are highlighted in bold.
