Abstract

Daily incidence of 2290 myocardial infarctions in Mexico City at the National Institute of Cardiology from 1992-1996 shows that the most prominent periodicity in the infarction rate is seven days. A tendency is noticed for a higher average infarction rate, by a factor of 1.13, in days of Forbush decreases, compared with the average occurrence in days without Forbush decreases.
