Particulate air pollution, systemic oxidative stress, inflammation, and atherosclerosis
Air pollution has been associated with significant adverse health effects leading to increased overall morbidity and mortality of worldwide significance. Epidemiological studies have shown that the largest portion of air pollution-related mortality is due to cardiovascular diseases, predominantly those of ischemic nature. Human studies suggest an association with atherosclerosis and increasing ...
متن کاملParticulate Air Pollution, Progression, and Survival after Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE Several studies have examined the effect of particulate pollution (PM) on survival in general populations, but less is known about susceptible groups. Moreover, previous cohort studies have been cross-sectional and subject to confounding by uncontrolled differences between cities. DESIGN We investigated whether PM was associated with progression of disease or reduced survival in a s...
متن کاملAmbient Air Pollution and the Progression of Atherosclerosis in Adults
BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies suggest an association between exposure to ambient air pollution and atherosclerosis. We investigated the association between outdoor air quality and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis (common carotid artery intima-media thickness, CIMT). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined data from five double-blind randomized trials that assessed effects of...
متن کاملFine Particulate Air Pollution and the Progression of Carotid Intima-Medial Thickness: A Prospective Cohort Study from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution
BACKGROUND Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to cardiovascular disease, possibly via accelerated atherosclerosis. We examined associations between the progression of the intima-medial thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery, as an indicator of atherosclerosis, and long-term PM2.5 concentrations in participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). METHODS A...
