16-year study suggests air temperature is external trigger for heart attack
August 28, 2017


A 16 year study in more than 280 000 patients has suggested that air temperature is an external trigger for heart attack. The findings are presented today at ESC Congress.

"There is seasonal variation in the occurrence of heart attack, with incidence declining in summer and peaking in winter," said first author Dr Moman A. Mohammad, from the Department of Cardiology at Lund University, Skane University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. "It is unclear whether this is due to colder temperatures or behavioural changes."

All I know is, after my cardiac arrest, the cardiologist told me under no circumstances should I be outside more than 5 minutes when the temperature is below 40 or over 80.

Wow. They'd only let you out a couple days a year here. (Spring and Fall).
