The Impact of Meteorological Variables on Heart Failure Hospitalizations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although cold temperatures have been associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, heterogeneity currently exists when considering a broader range of meteorological variables and exposure periods.

Objectives

The authors assessed HF hospitalization risk conferred by temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, and rainfall during different exposure timeframes.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of 4,512 patients admitted for acute dyspnea and diagnosed with acute HF at the emergency department (ED) of the Nancy University Hospital (from January 2010 to October 2022) as part of the PARADISE (Pathway of Dyspneic patients in Emergency) study. For the considered variables, mean daily values were used to calculate a
