Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of long-term residential
exposure to fine particles with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Background …

Background Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been linked to cardiovascular disease,
possibly via accelerated atherosclerosis. We examined associations between the …

Background Cross-sectional studies suggest an association between exposure to ambient
air pollution and atherosclerosis. We investigated the association between outdoor air …

Background: Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollution is
associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, the impact of PM on …

Background and aims Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been
linked with increased cardiovascular events and mortality, however, studies had shown …

Objectives: This study evaluated the association of long-and short-term air pollutant
exposures with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and baseline arterial diameter (BAD) of the …

Associations have been found between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The contribution of air pollution to atherosclerosis …

Exposure to airborne particulate matter has been linked to cardiovascular events. Whether
this finding reflects an effect of particulate matter exposure on the triggering of events or …

BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that increases of fine particle concentrations (PM2. 5)
could be linked with a rise in cardiovascular disease. With approximately 25% of American …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is increasingly recognized as an important and
modifiable risk factor for adverse health outcomes including cardiovascular disease (CVD) …
