Seven and 3.5-Day Rhythms in the Incidence of Myocardiopathies in Mexico

The explanation of the 7-day rhythm may be related to the social week of human activity, but the 3.5-day rhythm has no easy explanation. Here we discuss the possibility that these rhythms may be related to environmental conditions, particularly to the solar activity that has periods close to the 3.5 and 7 days. Regardless of the modest number of data, the finding of these rhythms on the incidence of MI and other cardiac-related diseases in Mexico confirms previous investigations concerning medical data from other Mexican health care institutions.
