Abstract: From the Department of Medicine Stamford Hospital Stamford Connecticut U.S.A. * This study was aided by a grant from the Stamford-Darien-New Canaan Heart Association. SUMMARY In a seven-year study in Stamford Connecticut the random incidence of acute myocardial infarction was highest during the spring months (March April and May) and in the month of April. However these random incidences were not statistically significant. The meteorological phenomena of temperature precipitation barometric pressure sun spots and cosmic rays did not have any effect on the incidence of acute myocardial infarction. ___MH
