To date, no study has explored the extent to which genetic susceptibility modifies the effects
of air pollutants on the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study was designed to investigate …

Background: Although growing evidence links air pollution to stroke incidence, less is known
about the effect of air pollution on atrial fibrillation (AF), an important risk factor for stroke …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. We designed an umbrella
review to systematically assess the epidemiological credibility of the associations of non …

Background Current evidence suggests that gaseous or particulate pollutants may increase
the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), although this association is still uncertain. Methods We …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia with
several risk factors. Recent studies have suggested that the exposure to air pollutants may …

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia and is associated
with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The few studies conducted on short-term effects …

The acute effects and the time course of fine particulate pollution (PM2. 5) on atrial
fibrillation/flutter (AF) predictors, including P-wave duration, PR interval duration, and P …

Background—Previous reports have implicated multiple genetic loci associated with AF, but
the contributions of genome-wide variation to AF susceptibility have not been quantified …

Background Understanding the effects of risk factor burden and genetic predisposition on
the long-term risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) is important to improve public health initiatives …

Background Although many studies have linked elevations in fine particulate matter (PM 2.5)
air pollution to adverse cardiovascular outcomes, long-term exposures of PM 2.5 on air …
