“…These results are in accord with Brezowsky (1965) andJager's (1968) observation that the biotropic stimulus is generally increased with contrasting weather patterns, as with an increase in dynamic activity, and in particular, in turbulence (Brezowsky, 1965;Jager, 1968).…”

“…The yearly frequency peak lies in the winter months, December to February, whereas the minimum is found in summer or early autumn. This distribution, however, is strongly dependent on the geographical, and thus bioclimatic position (Brezowsky, 1965). It seems likely that temperature stress could have a trigger function in this case.…”

“…The role of periodic daily and yearly changes in the frequency spectrum of myocardial infarct is striking. These changes must be differentiated from the aperiodic fluctuations associated with the weather (Brezowsky, 1965;Brezowsky and Diesfeld, 1963;Brezowsky and Ranscht-Froemsdorff, 1966). The yearly frequency peak lies in the winter months, December to February, whereas the minimum is found in summer or early autumn.…”

“…In contrast, there is a reduction in the rate when weather conditions are constant, (i.e., in high pressure areas with sinking air movement and with little horizontal drift) (Brezowsky, 1965;Sonning, 1975).…”

The date of occurrence of a heart infarct was tabulated for 162 patients admitted to four Munich clinics with cardiology departments from January 1 to July 31, 1981. This occurrence calendar was correlated with the daily average density of 28 KHz and 10 KHz atmospheric (atm) impulses and several classic weather parameters. The occurrence of heart infarcts has a certain positive correlation with the increased appearance of “pure” 28 KHz impulses, the correlation with 10 KHz impulses is very slight. Among the classic weather parameters, the average daily humidity has the highest negative correlation coefficient.

The influence of changes in atmospheric conditions on cardiovascular diseases has been recognized for many years. Brezowsky (1965) showed a greater number of myocardial infarctions than suspected in those weather-phases characterized by changes in air masses, and Masches et al. (1966) found a greater frequency than suspected on days with a sudden change in air temperature. Raettig and Nehls (1940) showed a correlation between the passage of fronts and the incidence of pulmonary embolism, and Bokonji6 and Zec (1968) found some parallellism between changes in atmospheric pressure, air temperature, air humidity and the development of strokes (haemorrhage, trombosis and embolism).References dealing with peripheral arterial embolism (PAE), a disease which from a physiologically point of view is quite different from the above mentioned cardiovascular diseases, are less common (Tromp, 1963). MATERIALS AND METHODSAmong 131 patients living on the island Fune, Denmark, 140 cases of PAE (a few patients had more than one case of PAE) were admitted to the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital, Odense, Denmark, in the period 1963 -1969.Cases occurring as a complication to an arteriographic examination were excluded, and patients with multiple PAE occurring on the same day were registrated as one case.There were 66 men and 74 women. The average age was 71.3 years (SD = 12, 1). In 29 cases the embolus was located in the upper extremities and in 111 cases in the lower extremities including the iliac artery and the abdominal aorta.Changes in barometric pressure in the period including the day of occurrence of the PAE and the preceding two days were registered in each case.All measurements concerning barometric pressure were made available by a state weather station (Blangstedg~rd, Odense), where observations were made at 08:00, 14:00 and 21:00 hr. Barometric pressure was measured in mm Hg and corrected to 0°C, 45 ° latitude and to sea-level.To characterize the variations in barometric pressure during the 3-day period four parameters have been used:(1) Mean-value of barometric pressure (P), i.e. the sum of the nine observations divided by nine.
