Correlation Between Concentration of Air Pollutants and Occurrence of Cardiac Arrhythmias in a Region with Humid Continental Climate Acta clinica Croatica, 2017, Volume: 56, Issue:1 In this study, we investigated the correlation of air temperature, pressure and concentration\ of air pollutants with the rate of admissions for cardiac arrhythmias at two clinical centers\ in the area with a humid continental climate. This retrospective study included 3749 patients with\ arrhythmias admitted to emergency department (ED). They were classified into four groups: supraventricular\ tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT), atrial fibrillation/undulation (Afib/Aund),\ and palpitations (with no ECG changes, or with sinus tachycardia and extrasystoles). The\ number of patients, values of meteorological parameters (average daily values of air temperature,\ pressure and relative humidity) and concentrations of air pollutants (particles of dimensions ~10\ micrometers or less (PM(10)), ozone (O(3)) and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2))) were collected during a two-year\ period ( July 2008-June 2010). There were 1650 (44.0%), 1525 (40.7%), 451 (12.0%) and 123 (3.3%)\ patients with palpitations, Afib/Aund, SVT and VT, respectively. Spearman’s correlation yielded\ positive correlation between the occurrence of arrhythmias and air humidity on the day (r=0.07), and\ 1 (r=0.08), 2 (r=0.09) and 3 days before (r=0.09), and NO(2) particles on the day (r=0.08) of ED admission;\ palpitations and air humidity on the day (r=0.11), and 1 (r=0.09), 2 (r=0.07) and 3 days before\ (r=0.10), and PM(10) (r=0.11) and NO(2) (r=0.08) particles on the day of ED admission; and Afi b/Aund\ and air humidity 2 days before (r=0.08) ED admission (p<0.05 all). In conclusion, there was a very\ weak positive correlation of the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias with air humidity and concentration\ of air pollutants in the region with a humid continental climate.
