“…In spite of all these, cardiovascular diseases are considered as one of the most preventable noncontagious diseases of human (4). Cardiovascular diseases could happen suddenly and are mostly initiated by acute physical activities and mental stresses (5,6). The effects caused by demographic and psychological properties are among the factors that are known to the incidence of ischemic and chronic cardiovascular diseases.…”

Objective: Acute triggers are external stimuli that produce acute pathophysiologic changes directly leading to the onset of myocardial infarction (MI). Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the main causes of mortality. Recent studies have confirmed the impact of acute triggers on the occurrence of AMI, but have not evaluated their differences in terms of demographic characteristics. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of acute triggers on AMI in various demographic groups. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study on 269 patients affected by AMI in two hospitals in 2015 and 2016 in Iran. To attain the goals of the study, acute triggers were divided into four groups of emotional, environmental, physical, and chemical. A researcher-developed questionnaire and interview were used to collect data. The risk and control periods were also evaluated for each trigger. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as statistical logistic regression and McNemar's test using SPSS 21. The P-value was set at 0.05. Results:The results showed that sudden exposure to hot/cold weather in men (P=0.03, OR=3.4), underlying diseases (P=0.03, OR=1.8), heavy activities (P=0.03, OR=1.6) and consuming tea/coffee in men (P=0.01, OR=1.8) increased the chance of AMI. It was also discovered that triggers such as pulmonary infections, overeating and/or eating high-fat foods that are not dependent on demographic variables promoted the chance of AMI (P<0.05). Conclusion: All people -regardless of age, sex, and the presence/lack of underlying illness -are at risk of developing MI in the face of respiratory infections, overeating, and intake of high-fat foods. Also, sudden exposure to hot and / or cold weather, heavy activity and high consumption of coffee and/or tea, can increase the risk of MI in men. Bulgular: Sonuçlar, erkeklerde sıcak/soğuk havaya ani maruziyetin (P = 0.03, OR = 3.4), altta yatan hastalıkların (P = 0.03, OR = 1.8), ağır aktivitelerin (P = 0.03, OR = 1.6) ve erkeklerde tüketilen çay/kahve (P = 0.01, OR = 1.8) akut kalp krizi riskini artırığını gösterdi. Pulmoner enfeksiyonlar, aşırı yeme ve/veya aşırı yağlı gıdalarla yeme gibi demografik değişkenlere bağımlı olmayan tetikleyicilerin akut kalp krizi riskini arttırdığı da keşfedildi (P <0.05). Sonuç: Yaş, cinsiyet ve altta yatan hastalığın varlığı/eksikliği ne olursa olsun tüm insanlar solunum yolu enfeksiyonları, aşırı yorulma ve yüksek yağlı gıdalar alımı karşısında kalp krizi gelişme riski altındadır. Ayrıca, ani sıcak ve/veya soğuk havaya maruz kalma, yoğun aktivite ve yüksek kahve ve/veya çay tüketimi erkeklerde lap krizi riskini artırabilir.

“…The fact that weather may influence the occurrence of AMI by causing a higher incidence during the winter period has been mainly attributed to cold exposure, an external trigger of sympathetic triggering pattern [6,7], and more frequent respiratory infections [5]. In his commentary, Cheng noted that investigations of seasonal distribution should take meteorological parameters into consideration [8].…”

“…Moreover, it has been proposed that individual characteristics may predispose to AMI onset triggered by different external triggers through diverse internal triggering mechanisms [6,7,17,18]. At the 0167-5273/$ -see front matter D…”

“…Although the overall interaction among different gender/ethnic groups was not statistically significant, it would be interesting if the authors continued with this subgroup analysis, for example, multivariable analysis. In the context of calcification and plaque vulnerability, such information may be useful for understanding the gender differences observed for the triggering of coronary incidents (13,16). After all, the relation between alcohol consumption and coronary calcium may not be either linear or a J-or U-shaped curve.…”
