[Comparative study between cerebral seizure and the climatic trend in the province of Brescia]

This study seeks to identify which of the various climatic parameters is the most significant causative factor for the onset of cerebral ictus or TIA in subjects clinically "at risk". The research was conducted in the province of Brescia, where it was discovered that the most stressful climatic factor was a warm, dry south-westerly wind (SW). It was postulated that such climatic conditions may favour platelet aggregation by means of an increase in the charge of positive ions in the air.
