Short-term effects of fine particulate matter and ozone on the cardiac conduction system in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization

Abstract Background Air pollution-induced changes in cardiac electrophysiological properties could be a pathway linking air pollution and cardiovascular events. The evidence of air pollution effects on the cardiac conduction system is incomplete yet. We investigated short-term effects of particulate...
