Hypertension is the leading risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a global health concern. Weather affects ACS incidence, complications, and outcomes seasonally. Patients should include vitamin D3 and organic sulfates in their diets, especially in winter.
According to experts, the leading cause of death and a major health issue worldwide is acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It indicates rapid myocardial ischemia. Kass and Sewart found that smoking, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are the main risk factors for coronary heart disease. This is similar to our findings, although risk factors are ordered differently. Hypertension (71.8%) is our study’s most common risk factor, which does not vary by season. Smoking, hyperlipidemia, familial history, and diabetes mellitus are less common in our group, according to Dr. Kedar Kulkarni.
ACS was most common in December and least common in March in winter. Autumn/Winter ACS was more likely in older individuals with lower socio-epidemiological status and a different diet. Age was the only component that significantly affected ACS, not gender. Seasonality significantly affected ACS complications and outcomes (p=0.048). Postinfarction angina pectoris was more common in spring/summer and heart failure (Killip III and IV) in autumn/winter. Autumn/Winter had more fatal ACS cases than Spring/Summer (p=0.001). The data indicate a seasonal effect of weather on incidence.
The data show that seasonal meteorological variables affect ACS incidence, complications, and outcomes. Patients should eat organic sulfates and vitamin D3 and spend as much time in the sun as possible, especially in winter.
Conclusion
ACS is a common health issue. Risks include smoking, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Smoking, hyperlipidemia, family history, and diabetes mellitus are less common risk factors than hypertension (71.8%). Fall/winter ACS rates are highest in older individuals. Seasonal changes affect complications and prognosis, with postinfarction angina pectoris more likely in spring/summer and heart failure in autumn/winter.
