Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter and prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Exposure to airborne particulate matter has been linked to cardiovascular events. Whether this finding reflects an effect of particulate matter exposure on the triggering of events or development of atherosclerosis remains unknown. Using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis collected at baseline (2000-2002), the authors investigated associations of 20-year exposures to particulat...
متن کاملParticulate Matter Exposure and Cardiopulmonary Differences in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Particulate matter (PM) exposure may directly affect the pulmonary vasculature. Although the pulmonary vasculature is not easily measurable, differential associations for right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) mass may provide an indirect assessment of pulmonary vascular damage. OBJECTIVES We tested whether long-term exposure to PM < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is associated with grea...
متن کاملAmbient Air Pollution and Atherosclerosis in Los Angeles
Associations have been found between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The contribution of air pollution to atherosclerosis that underlies many cardiovascular diseases has not been investigated. Animal data suggest that ambient particulate matter (PM) may contribute to atherogenesis. We used data on 798 participants from two clinical trials ...
متن کاملLong-Term Exposure to Airborne Particles and Arterial Stiffness: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
BACKGROUND Increased arterial stiffness could represent an intermediate subclinical outcome in the mechanistic pathway underlying associations between average long-term pollution exposure and cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that 20 years of exposure to particulate matter (PM) ≤ 2.5 and 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5 and PM10, respectively) would be positively associated...
متن کاملAssessing Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure and Associations with Coronary Artery Calcification
Long-term exposure ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) may be associated with atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Few studies have previously examined this relationship, with most research focusing on two different cohorts: the Multi-Ethnic Study and Atherosclerosis (MESA) and the Heinz-Nixdorf Recall Study (HNRS). While several methods are used to assess the...
