| Résumé anglais |
Many scientists are now studying the influence of the weather and climate on the various physiological and pathological phenomena associated with the diseases of man, especially with the onset of ischaemic heart disease. But they all are confronted with a bewildering diversity of prospects. To offer a rational explanation of the biologic mechanisms of meteorotropic effects locally observed in heart patients remains the ultimate and essential purpose of the physician. But the geographer is not so directly concerned in aetiopathogenesis. Conversely it rests with him to point out to what extent different climates are conductive to different pathologies. Lastly the knowledge of both climate and meteorotropic correlations aims at designing maps of the infarction hazard, at several time scales. These maps may have a great practical interest.
