- Abstract
The paper deals with studying the influence of air pressure fluctuations on the health of patients. Since August 2008, the Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CCH RAS) observed air pressure fluctuations with a simultaneous registration of patients who were urgently hospitalized to the CCH RAS and classified as weather-sensitive. Weather-sensitive patients included patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction, angina, hypertension, extrasystole, stroke, and cerebrovascular disease. The data on 6078 patients over a four-year period (January 1, 2009–November 31, 2012) were processed. The results have shown an increase in the cases of patients' hospitalization with an enhancement of the external effects of air pressure.
