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

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is activated by particulate matter
(PM) isolated from ambient air and linked to prolonged repolarization and cardiac …

Background Epidemiologic studies have suggested that elevated concentrations of
particulate matter (PM) are strongly associated with an increased risk of developing …

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 …

Epidemiological studies demonstrate an association between arrhythmias and air pollution.
Aconitine-induced cardiac arrhythmia is widely used experimentally to examine factors that …

There is evidence that changes of the autonomic control of the heart are among the potential
mechanisms responsible for pollution-related cardiac mortality. The objective of this work is …

The association between short-term increases in particulate air pollution and increased
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well documented. Recent studies suggest an …

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 …

Background The potential for seasonal differences in the physicochemical characteristics of
ambient particulate matter (PM) to modify interactive effects with gaseous pollutants has not …

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 …
