The Relationship Between Ambient Air Pollution and Heart Rate Variability Differs for Individuals with Heart and Pulmonary Disease
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Associations between concentrations of ambient fine particles [particulate matter < 2.5 μm aerodynamic diameter (PM\(_{2.5}\))] and heart rate variability (HRV) have differed by study population. We examined the effects ...
Factors Affecting the Association between Ambient Concentrations and Personal Exposures to Particles and Gases
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Results from air pollution exposure assessment studies suggest that ambient fine particles [particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μg (PM2.5)], but not ambient gases, are strong proxies of corresponding personal ...
Differences in Heart Rate Variability Associated with Long-Term Exposure to NO2
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiac autonomic tone, has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Short-term studies have shown that subjects exposed to higher traffic-associated ...
