Key result
Cold exposure increases MI-related mortality and exacerbates coronary events, especially with prolonged extreme cold.
Why the study?
The connection between cold exposure and ischemic heart disease has been examined in various studies but requires systematic synthesis.
Systematic Review (n=281,979)

Cold exposure may raise MI mortality risk in workers and CAD patients; extends observational data on environmental IHD triggers, warranting prospective confirmation.
The primary aim of this systematic review is to examine the published research on the connection between cold exposure and ischemic heart disease (IHD). We conducted a systematic search through PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, and the Cochrane library. Using Rayyan QCRI, study articles were first screened by title and abstract before a full-text analysis was implemented. A total of six studies with 281979 patients were included. We comprised various cold events, including cold

Sabah et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Ischemic heart disease (n=281,979). Cold exposure vs. Unexposed/warmer conditions was evaluated on Myocardial infarction-related mortality and worsening of coronary events.
