In and heat disease:
Bease knwn isk fats annt expain a ases f heat disease, eseahes ntine t k f new ases. Sme evidene sggests that in an stimate the ativity f fee adias.

In the 1980s, eseahes inked high in stes with ineased isk f heat attaks in Finnish men. Hweve, me eent stdies have nt sppted sh an assiatin.
ne way f testing an assiatin between in stes and nay heat disease is t mpae eves f feitin, the stage fm f in, t the degee f athesesis in nay ateies. In ne stdy, eseahes examined the eatinship between feitin eves and athesesis in 100 men and wmen efeed f adia examinatin. In this ppatin, highe feitin eves wee nt assiated with an ineased degee f athesesis, as meased by angigaphy. nay angigaphy is a tehniqe sed t estimate the degee f bkage in nay ateies. In a diffeent stdy, eseahes fnd that feitin eves wee highe in mae patients diagnsed with nay atey disease. They did nt find any assiatin between feitin eves and isk f nay disease in wmen.
A send way t test this assiatin is t examine ates f nay disease in pepe wh feqenty dnate bd. If exess in stes ntibte t heat disease, feqent bd dnatin d ptentiay we heat disease ates bease f the in ss assiated with bd dnatin. ve 2,000 men ve age 39 and wmen ve age 50 wh dnated bd between 1988 and 1990 wee sveyed 10 yeas ate t mpae ates f adia events t feqeny f bd dnatin. adia events wee defined as (1) ene f an ate myadia infatin (heat attak), (2) ndeging angipasty, a media pede that pens a bked nay atey; (3) ndeging bypass gafting, a sgia pede that epaes bked nay ateies with heathy bd vesses. eseahes fnd that feqent dns, wh dnated me than 1 nit f whe bd eah yea between 1988 and 1990, wee ess ikey t expeiene adia events than asa dns (thse wh ny dnated a singe nit in that 3-yea peid). eseahes nded that feqent and ng-tem bd dnatin may deease the isk f adia events.
