The synergy between diurnal temperature range and calcium concentration help to predict hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological studies have suggested that cold is an important contributor to acute cardiovascular events and mortality. However, little is known about the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) impact on mortality of the patients with myocardial infarction. Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) play a vital role in the human body, such as cardiac electrophysiology and contraction. To investigate whether DTR on admission moderates the association between serum calcium and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This retrospective study enrolled consecutive adult patients with AMI at a single center in China (2003-2012). Patients were divided into four groups (Ca-Q1-4) according to serum calcium concentration quartiles. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was use
