Mortality from acute cardiovascular accidents has been studied in relation to the seasons in Naples, Milan and the rest of Italy. A constant parallel was noted between such deaths and the winter season. It is concluded that the meteoric-seasonal factor most responsible consists of the drop in temperature which could cause vascular spasm followed by an increase in systemic arterial pressure. It is personally considered that this is the most important pathogenetic mechanism in the majority of cases of acute cardiovascular accidents.
在那不勒斯、米兰及意大利其他地区，对急性心血管意外的死亡率与季节的关系进行了研究。发现此类死亡与冬季之间存在持续的平行关系。得出的结论是，最主要的气象季节因素是气温下降，这可能导致血管痉挛，继而引起体循环动脉压升高。个人认为，这是大多数急性心血管意外病例中最重要的发病机制。
