Epidemiologic evidence has demonstrated that air pollution may impair cardiovascular
health, leading to potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Efforts have been made, with the …

Air pollution is commonly defined as the contamination of the air we breathe by any
chemical, physical, or biological agent that is potentially threatening to human and …

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported associations between air pollution
exposure and increases in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Exposure to air pollutants …

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and kills over 17 million
people per year. In the recent decade, growing epidemiological evidence links air pollution …

The incremental risk of air pollution in triggering arrhythmias or other acute cardiac events is
greatest for those patients with underlying cardiac disease. Cardiovascular patients and …

Air pollution is the mixture of some chemical and environmental agents including dust,
fumes, gases, particulate matters, and biological materials which can be harmful for the …

The objective was to assess the transient association between air pollution and cardiac
arrhythmia. Five databases were searched for studies investigating the association between …

Aims Air pollution has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias in patients with
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for exposure periods of 24–48 h. Only two …

Epidemiology studies suggest that exposure to air pollution increases the frequency of
cardiac arrhythmias. A limitation of these studies is that it is difficult to link an increased risk …

The authors evaluated the association between ventricular arrhythmias detected by
implantable cardioverter defibrillators and ambient air pollution concentrations in the hours …
