Air Pollution and ST-Segment Depression in Elderly Subjects
Increased levels of daily ambient particle pollution have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity. Black carbon (BC) is a measure of the traffic-related component of particles. We investigated associations between ambient pollution and ST-segment levels in a repeated-measures study including 269 observations on 24 active Boston residents 61-88 years of age, each observed...
متن کاملAir Pollution and Symptoms of Depression in Elderly Adults
BACKGROUND Although the effect of air pollution on various diseases has been extensively investigated, few studies have examined its effect on depression. OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of air pollution on symptoms of depression in an elderly population. METHODS We enrolled 537 participants in the study who regularly visited a community center for the elderly located in Seoul, Korea....
متن کاملElectrocardiographic ST-Segment Depression and Exposure to Traffic‐Related Aerosols in Elderly Subjects with Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND Air pollutants have not been associated with ambulatory electrocardiographic evidence of ST-segment depression ≥ 1 mm (probable cardiac ischemia). We previously found that markers of primary (combustion-related) organic aerosols and gases were positively associated with circulating biomarkers of inflammation and ambulatory blood pressure in the present cohort panel study of elderly s...
متن کاملParticulate air pollution as a risk factor for ST-segment depression in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND The association of particulate matter (PM) with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well documented. PM-induced ischemia is considered a potential mechanism linking PM to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS In a repeated-measures study including 5979 observations on 48 patients 43 to 75 years of age, we investigated associations of ambient pollution with ST-s...
متن کاملExtent of ST-segment depression and cardiac events in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.
AIMS We sought to determine whether the extent of myocardial ischaemia on the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) has independent predictive value for short-term risk stratification of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS). Although the presence of ischaemic ECG changes on admission has been shown to predict outcome, the relationship between the extent of ECG ...
