AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between air concentrations of fine 
      particulate matter <2.5 microm in diameter (PM2.5) and ischaemic attacks in high-risk 
      elderly patients (aged >/=60 years). METHODS: This retrospective data analysis 
      study extracted clinical data from an electronic medical chart system and 
      environmental air quality data from the Ministry of the Environment Atmospheric 
      Environmental Regional Observation System. Patients were stratified into four 
      groups according to whether or not they had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      and/or an ischaemic attack (i.e. cerebral infarctions and myocardial infarctions) 
      during the 2-year study period. Analysis of the combined clinical and 
      environmental data produced the odds ratio for the likelihood of experiencing an 
      ischaemic attack. RESULTS: Clinical data were collected from 94 647 patients. On 
      days when the air temperature was >/=25℃ and PM2.5 concentration was >/=20microg/m(3), an 
      ischaemic attack was more likely to occur in the T2DM group than in the group 
      without T2DM. An ischaemic attack was more likely to occur 2 days after an 
      increase in the PM2.5 concentration compared with the same day as and 3-6 days 
      after the increase. CONCLUSION: The results of this study confirmed an 
      association between PM2.5 and ischaemic attacks in high-risk patients.
