Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Determining seasonal pattern of AMI may contribute to disease prevention and better treatment. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate daily, monthly, and seasonal pattern for symptoms҆ onset in the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and also other possible associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 777 patients diagnosed with STEMI admitted at the Imam Ali Cardiovascular Hospital affiliated with Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), Kermanshah province, Iran from March 2018 to February 2019. Data were collected using a checklist developed based on the study's objectives. Differences between subgroups were assessed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukeys҆ post‐hoc test and Chi-Square test (or Fishers҆ exact test). Results: Out of 777 patients, 616 (79.3%) of them were male. Mean age of the patients was (mean±SD) equal to 60.93±12.86 years old. Occurrence of STEMI was most common in winter (38.4%), followed by autumn (27.8%), spring (22.9%), and summer (10.9%), respectively. Monthly occurrence of AMI was at the highest level in January (10.8%) and December (9.9%), and it was at the lowest level in July (4.9 %). Most patients were admitted on Fridays (15.8%) and Wednesdays (15.6%). Hypercholesterolemia, prior congestive heart failure (CHF), prior MI, prior stroke, prior atrial fibrillation (AF), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, total cholesterol, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) were significantly associated with seasonal pattern of STEMI (p-value<0.05). Conclusions: Results of the present study on Iranian patients with STEMI revealed that AMI occurred more frequently on Wednesdays and Fridays and during winter from December to January compared to the other days of the week, months, and seasons.

Background: For myocardial infarction survivors, long-term pharmacotherapy is an important element of a complex treatment and a better prognosis may be achieved through better medication adherence. Aim: The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is possible to predict medication adherence of the patients who survived myocardial infarction via assessing their personality. Design and Setting: Analytic cross-sectional study. Methods: The study was held in Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas clinics (HLUHS KK) department of cardiology. Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were randomly included and completed questionnaire before discharge from Cardiology unit. We recruited 198 patients with myocardial infarction who completed questionnaire (ICD-10 diagnoses I21.0, I21.1 or I21.2). Medical adherence association with personality was assessed with Morisky-Green medical adherence scale (MMAS-8) and the Big-Five inventory. Results: Medical adherence was associated with conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism and extraversion. There was no significant association with openness to experiences. Neuroticism negatively affected medical adherence. It was determined, that conscientiousness, agreeableness and extraversion positively affected medical adherence. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that good medical adherence in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was associated with higher scores in conscientiousness and agreeableness personality traits and lower scores in neuroticism.
