Summary: The influences of three types of weather that arecharacteristic for the coastal region of Middle Dalmatian (sirocco, bora and calm weather) have been studied with respectto (1) incidence of myocardial infarction (MI); (2) incidence ofparoxysmal atrial fibrillation, (3) platelet aggregability in theacute phase of MI and (4) incidence of arrhythmias in subacutephase of MI. It was observed that sirocco is associated withincreased risks of MI, atrial fibrillation and postinfartalarrhytmogenseis and with increased platelet aggregability. Thestudy of association of meteorological factors and vegetativetonus in coronary patients is anticipated.

Keywords: meterological factors, myocardial infarction, platelet aggregability, postinfactal arrhytmogenesis, vegetative tonus, atrial fibrillation

Research goals: The aim of this work is to assess the specific influences of meteorological events in the Middle Dalmatia in patients with coronary disease.
