Rationale: The biological mechanisms linking air pollution to cardiovascular events still
remain largerly unclear. Objectives: To investigate whether biological mechanisms linking …

The authors conducted a 2-year follow-up of 40 cardiovascular disease patients (mean age=
65.6 years (standard deviation, 5.8)) who underwent repeated measurements of …

Background In several studies, exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) has been associated
with inflammation, with inconsistent results. We used repeated measurements to examine …

Epidemiologic studies report associations between particulate air pollution and
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. Although the underlying pathophysiologic …

Objective: To investigate the associations between exposure to particulate air pollution and
changes in cardiovascular function and plasma mediators in seniors. Methods: We …

Background Short‐term exposure to elevated air pollution has been associated with higher
risk of acute cardiovascular diseases, with systemic oxidative stress induced by air pollution …

This study examined effects of short-term urban air pollution exposures on inflammation,
thrombosis, and autonomic imbalance in subjects at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Background: Air pollution is associated with cardiovascular disease, and systemic
inflammation may mediate this effect. We assessed associations between long-and short …

Fine particulate matter air pollution plus ozone impairs vascular function and raises diastolic
blood pressure. We aimed to determine the mechanism and air pollutant responsible. The …

Objective—The objective of this study is to examine associations between short-term
exposure to ambient air pollution and circulating biomarkers of systemic inflammation in …
