Previous studies focused on investigating particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤
2.5 µm (PM2. 5) have shown the risk of disease development, and association with …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmic disorder and its prevalence in the
United States is projected to increase to more than twelve million cases in 2030. AF …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and increases the risk of stroke and mortality.
Previous studies have suggested that air pollution is an important risk factor for new-onset …

Introduction Air pollution is a risk factor for respiratory infections and asthma exacerbations.
We previously reported impaired Type-I and Type-III interferons (IFN-β/λ) from airway …

Rationale: Outdoor air pollution contributes to asthma development and exacerbations, yet
its effects on airway pathology have not been defined in children. Objectives: To explore the …

Methods: We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study to estimate the association
between short-term air pollution levels and risk of AF episodes. The episodes were identified …

Abstract Introduction and Objective. Air pollution is the largest environmental health risk,
estimated to cause over 5 million premature deaths per year worldwide, including half a …

Air pollution exposure is a risk factor for arrhythmia. The atrioventricular (AV) conduction axis
is key for the passage of electrical signals to ventricles. We investigated whether …

Highlights What are the main findings? Abnormally increased concentrations of ingested or
inhaled pollutants can lead to cardiac oxidative stress and inflammation. Untreated cardiac …

Air pollution is a pervasive global challenge with profound implications for public health.
This review explores the intricate relationship between air pollution and atrial fibrillation …
