Effect of Temperature Variation on the Incidence of Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Harsh temperature exposure has been associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events. We sought to investigate the influence of temperature change on long-term incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Korean patients.

Methods

From the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) customized health information database (from 2005 to 2014), data from a total of 192,567 AMI patients was assessed according to the International Classification of Disease 10th edition code and matched with temperature reports obtained from the Korea Meteorological Administration database. We analyzed data for a 10-year period on a monthly and seasonal basis.

Results

The incidence rate per 100,000 year of AMI exhibited a downward trend from 69.1 to 56.1 over the period 2005
