Short-term exposure to ambient temperature variability and myocardial infarction hospital admissions: A nationwide case-crossover study in Sweden
This nationwide study contributes insights that short-term exposures to higher temperature variability-greater upward or downward temperature shifts-are associated with an increased risk of MI hospitalization. Our finding highlights the cardiovascular health threats posed by higher temperature variability, which are anticipated to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change.
