[Myocardial infarction and meteorology]

C de Senarclens, A Assimacopoulos, J D Altherr

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |December 13, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A study found a link between daily myocardial infarction admissions and weather, specifically identifying warm fronts as a trigger for increased coronary cases. This suggests weather can be a factor in heart attacks.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Meteorology
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Investigated retrospective data from 1977-1978 at University Cantonal Hospital, Geneva.
    • Analyzed 963 emergency patients with confirmed or possible myocardial infarction.
    • Focused on daily hospital admissions and their correlation with meteorological conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To determine if a relationship exists between daily myocardial infarction admissions and weather patterns.
    • To identify specific weather phenomena that may influence coronary events.
    • To assess the role of weather as a potential contributing factor in myocardial infarction.

    Summary:

    • Retrospective analysis of 963 myocardial infarction patients over two years revealed a correlation between daily admissions and weather.
    • A significant increase in coronary cases was observed during warm front weather conditions.
    • Warm fronts were identified as a potential trigger for myocardial infarction events.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the influence of meteorological factors on cardiovascular events.
    • Suggests weather monitoring could aid in predicting and managing myocardial infarction admissions.
    • Provides evidence for weather as a contributory factor in triggering acute coronary syndromes.
