RELATIONSHIPS OF METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN MULTIVESSEL CORONARY ARTERY ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN THE NORTHERN CONDITIONS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of meteorological factors to the occurrence of myocardial infarction in patients with multivessel coronary atherosclerosis in the North. 337 consecutive patients (278 men and 59 women), mean age 53,7 ± 8,9 years, with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ST-segment elevation were examined. In 188 patients (57.0 %) has been revealed multivessel coronary artery disease. It was found that the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction in patients with multivessel coronary atherosclerosis in the North directly associated with indicators of atmospheric pressure on the day of the debut of the disease. Average daily air pressure in the debut day of acute myocardial infarction is one of the factors that directly determine the occurrence of the disease in patients with multivessel coronary atherosclerosis in North (Exp (B) = 1,04, (CI 95 %: 1,01-1, 08), p = 0,012).
