Abstract

Results of investigations into the impact of seasonal variation on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have been inconsistent. Using the WHO Collaborative Study of CVD and Steroid Hormone Contraception database, we attempted to examine the relationship between variation in three climatic variables and risk of hospitalization for venous thromboembolism (VTE), arterial stroke, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We compared the monthly mean temperature, rainfall, and humidity with rates of hospitalized VTE, stroke, and AMI among young women aged 15-49 from 17 different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean by using a negative binomial regression model. The study included 1146, 2,269, and 369 cases of VTE, stroke, and AMI, respectively. Significant associations between temperature and hospital admission rates of stroke and AMI, but not VTE, were apparent. Lagging the effects of temperature suggested that these effects were relatively acute, within a period of a month. These data may help in understanding the mechanisms whereby stroke and AMI events are triggered.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
