Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia; it has been known to increase
the risk of stroke and heart failure. The association between air pollutants and AF has …

Epidemiological evidence linking source-specific ambient particulate matter with
aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) and cardiac arrhythmias is limited. In this study, we …

Background: Cardiac arrhythmias are cardiac rhythm disorders that comprise an important
public health problem. Few prior studies have examined the association between ambient …

While the literature strongly supports a positive association between particulate matter with
diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) exposure and heart failure (HF), there is uncertainty regarding …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) can increase the incidence of arrhythmia. However, the
arrhythmogenic mechanism of PM is poorly understood. This study investigated the …

Abstract Despite legislation, leading to dramatic decreases in levels of air pollution since the
time of the great smogs, a large body of epidemiological evidence has demonstrated that …

Cardiology is a newcomer to environmental sciences. We aim to propose an original review
of the scientific evidence regarding the effects of the environment on cardiovascular health …

Background The role of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation on the association
between personal exposures to ambient fine particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm in diameter (PM …

Abstract Purpose of Review The increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors
(CRFs) contributes to the rise in cardiovascular disease. Previous research has established …

Background Acute increases in ambient air pollution have been associated with increased
hospitalization for cardiac diseases and stroke. Triggering of cardiac arrhythmia by changes …
