Kalte Freitage im Winter - Die VT-Saison hat begonnen

Passend zur derzeit gefühlten Häufung von VT's auf meiner Station sei auf diesen schönen Artikel hingewiesen:

Circadian, daily, and seasonal distributions of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. (10/2007)

Aus dem Abstract:

• Spontaneously terminated VT and appropriately treated VT or ventricular fibrillation episodes occurred with the greatest incidence in the winter months and the lowest incidence in summer, spring, and fall.

• A linear regression between the number of episodes and the average daily temperature showed a greater likelihood of the 2 events occurring on cooler days, irrespective of the cause of cardiac disease.

• A weekly distribution was also observed, with the greatest proportion of episodes occurring on Fridays and the lowest on Saturdays and Sundays.
