Abstract
Objective: to analyze the influence of different meteorological conditions: relative air humidity, atmospheric pressure, precipitation on the incidence of development of AF paroxysms. Material and methods. The study involved 259 patients with AF paroxysms who were admitted into the Cardiology ward of Gomel City Clinical Hospital of Emergency Medical Care during the period from November 2015 to January 2016. Results. We have determined the incidence of development of AF paroxysms depending on such weather conditions as atmospheric pressure, relative air humidity, cloudiness, and precipitation. Conclusion. Meteorological conditions have a direct effect on the occurrence of AF paroxysms. The determined risk factors in this case are: high relative humidity, fall of temperature and harsh precipitation and changes in atmospheric pressure. Also, the aggravating factor in the development of AF paroxysms was age of patients over 56 and a combination of coronary heart disease and hypertension.
