A heart attack is more deadly in winter! The mortality rate is as high as 28%.

In the UK, one patient is hospitalized every three minutes for a heart attack, up to 200,000 a year, but only about 70 per cent survive.
if a person experiences a heart attack in a lifetime, the summer attack is much luckier than the winter. Researchers at Leeds General Hospital in West Yorkshire, England, found that the number of heart attacks fluctuated little throughout the year, but mortality changed significantly with the seasons, the Daily Mail reported. Patients are more likely to die if they have a heart attack between November and April each year, in the cold winter.
presented at the 2018 British Cardiovascular Society meeting, cardiologists at Leeds General Hospital, who analyzed the records of more than 4,000 heart patients over the past four years, found that the number of heart attacks did not change much with the seasons, with a 52 per cent chance of
in the cold season, slightly higher than in other seasons.
but in winter, once the incidence of heart disease is very serious, mostly cardiac arrest and cardiac shock, both of which have very high fatality rates. Because heart disease is generally more severe in winter,
patients with a heart attack are 28 percent more likely to die within 30 days between January and April, higher than the 20 percent likelihood of a heart attack dying within 30 days between May and October each year.
researchers say the high winter heart attack death synodles are likely to include extended treatment, longer hospital stays, and an increase in infections from related diseases, risk factors that can be fatal in the most severely ill patients. Further research is needed on the relationship between admission time and treatment outcomes, especially in the most severely ill and weakest patients.Dr Arvin Krishnamurthy, of the University of Leeds, who led the study
, said: "Medically no one has been found to be the cause of a heart attack that is more deadly in winter, and even the most serious one should not be more deadly in winter. We must do further research to identify the causes of this difference and correct it. The next step also needs to find out whether this trend will occur nationally. Professor Metin Avkiran, deputy medical director of the British Heart Foundation
, added: "While patients cannot choose what season to have a serious heart attack, the season should not have such an impact on a patient's chances of survival. It's important to find out why these differences are, and we need to continue to do everything we can to stop people from having heart attacks at the source.References:
