Background Ambient particulate air pollution is a major threat to the cardiovascular health of
people. Inflammation is an important component of the pathophysiological process that links …

Inflammatory response is implicated as a biologic mechanism that links particulate matter
(PM) air pollution with health effects. C-reactive protein (CRP), an important acutephase …

There is an established association between air pollution and cardiovascular disease
(CVD), which is likely to be mediated by systemic inflammation. The present study evaluated …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of short-term exposure to air pollutants on inflammation-
sensitive biomarkers in apparently healthy individuals. METHODS: We enrolled all …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution contributes to the global burden of
disease by particularly affecting cardiovascular (CV) causes of death. We investigated the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Air pollution is established as an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Ambient particulate matter (PM), a principal component of …

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

This article is a review of the scientific literature with respect to fine particulate matter (PM), 3-
hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, and coronary artery …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) may lead to increased cardiac risk through an inflammatory
pathway. Therefore, we investigated associations between ambient PM and markers of …

Both high arterial blood pressure (BP) and elevated levels of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
air pollution have been associated with an increased risk for several cardiovascular (CV) …
