Ambient Temperature Effect on Acute Myocardial Infarction by Risk Factors: Daily Data From 2000 to 2017, Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A U-shaped relationship between temperature and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was observed, but the risk factors were rarely included.

Objectives

The authors sought to examine AMI's cold and heat exposure after considering their risk groups.

Methods

Daily data on ambient temperature, newly diagnosed AMI, and 6 known risk factors of AMI for the Taiwan population from 2000 to 2017 were created by linking 3 Taiwan national databases. Hierarchical clustering analysis was performed. Poisson regression was performed on the AMI rate with the clusters along with the daily minimum temperature in cold months (November-March) and the daily maximum temperature in hot months (April-October).

Results

There were 319,737 patients with new-onset AMI over 109.13 b
