Introduction. Evidence that accounts for health effects of temperature and other meteorological variables in tropical countries as Colombia is scarce. Due to climate change, temperatures in Bogota has risen from 1ºC to 2ºC since 1997 and the adverse health effects of such changes are uncertain. Aim of this study was to identify the temporal patterns of daily hospital emergency admissions from cardiovascular diseases and temperature between 2009 and 2013 in Bogota. Methods. In this ecological study we explored the temporal patterns of emergency room daily admissions of 15 group of events according to ICD10 in relation to mean and maximum temperatures, relative humidity, ground level ozone (03) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) from 2009 to 2013. Statistical analysis included Spearman rank correlation and Poisson regression models. Results. Maximum temperature was correlated with hypertensive heart disease (Rho=0,06, p<0,05), angina pectoris (Rho=0,09, p<0,05) and other ischemic heart disease (Rho=0,06, p<0,05). There was a consistent correlation of the total number of cardiovascular admissions with increases in maximum temperature (Rho=0,09, p<0,05) and decreases of humidity (Rho=-0,23, p<0,05). Multivariate analysis showed that temperature rise by 1ºC increased admissions of hypertensive heart disease by 4.4%, of angina pectoris by 5.4% and other ischemic heart disease by 13.8%, after adjusting for humidity, O3, PM10 and PM2.5. Conclusions. The present study is the first exploration of temperature change in a city of high altitude (2650 m) and low latitude and its effects in cardiovascular disease admissions. The combined effect of increasing maximum temperatures and a decrease of relative humidity might have had a negative impact on emergency room admissions of cardiovascular disease. Further research should examine the spatial patterns of such events and characterize vulnerability to cardiovascular disease associated with urban heat islands in Bogota.
