Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is a leading global risk factor for cardiovascular
mortality. Although exposure to fine PM< 2.5 μm raises arterial blood pressure (BP), few …

Background Blood pressure (BP) may be implicated in associations observed between
ambient particulate matter and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study examined …

BACKGROUND Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution is a leading cause of global
cardiovascular mortality. A key mechanism may be PM2. 5-induced blood pressure (BP) …

Epidemiological evidence from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is needed to clarify
the associations of particulate air pollution with blood pressure and potential lag patterns …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution increases the risk for myocardial infarctions,
strokes, and cardiovascular mortality. A variety of responsible mechanisms have been …

Recent studies have suggested a link between exposure to ambient particulate matter< 2.5
μm in diameter (PM2. 5) and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The objective of this study …

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with numerous adverse
health effects, including increased blood pressure (BP) and vascular dysfunction. Coarse …

A short-term increase in fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2. 5) concentration increases
the risk for myocardial infarctions, strokes, and heart failure exacerbations. An important …

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 …

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