BACKGROUND: Although aggregate data suggest a link between snowfall and myocardial
infarction (MI), individual risk has yet to be assessed. We evaluated the association between …

With global climate change, more frequent severe snowstorms are expected; however,
evidence regarding their health effects is very limited. We gathered detailed medical records …

Background Meteorological factors like cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls have been
reported to increase myocardial infarction (MI) incidence, but there are inconsistencies in …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major public health problem. Cold winter weather
increases the risk of AMI, but factors influencing susceptibility are poorly known. We …

Background: Few studies have explored the relationships between cold spells and acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) using the information of symptom onset. Objectives: We …

Background We sought to determine if cold temperature and snowfall are independently
associated with stroke mortality, and whether effects differ between hemorrhagic and …

The relation between exposure to severe cold weather and mortality is examined in a
retrospective study of deaths occurring during the month of January from 1991 to 1996 in …

Background Snow-shoveling is a necessary activity for those living in temperate climates,
but there are no large studies identifying a connection between this activity and the …

Myocardial infarction (MI) incidence often peaks in winter, but it remains unclear how winter
temperature affects MI temporally and spatially. We examined the short-term effects of winter …

Importance Whether certain weather conditions modulate the onset of myocardial infarction
(MI) is of great interest to clinicians because it could be used to prevent MIs as well as guide …
