ASSOCIATIONS OF WEATHER FACTORS WITH COMPLICATIONS OF HOSPITAL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN SURGUT

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate associations of meteorological factors with complications of hospital stage of acute myocardial infarction in Surgut city. 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 the group of female patients with AMI the early post-infarction angina was positively correlated with the maximum atmospheric pressure in the debut day of AMI (r = 0,294, p = 0,028). Using binary logistic regression (χ²=14,7, p=0,002) we revealed that the deaths in patients with AMI positively depends on the aged (p = 0,001), minimum level of atmospheric pressure in the period from the start of AMI to the end of hospital stage (p = 0,039). It was found that the occurrence of pulmonary edema in women with AMI is directly dependent on the level of minimum atmospheric pressure in the period from the start of AMI to the end of the hospital stage (p = 0,032).
