Tóm tắt

A statistical examination of the relationship between barometric pressure and the incidence of peripheral arterial embolism (PAE) in Fune, Denmark, shows, that the velocity of the changes in barometric pressure seems to be the only really important factor, i.e. the faster the changes in barometric pressure the greater the biological effect.
