Why the study?
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) enters the body via the respiratory tract and causes adverse cardiovascular effects, requiring a summarized scientific basis for disease prevention and treatment.
Does exposure to PM2.5 cause adverse cardiovascular effects?
Does exposure to PM2.5 cause adverse cardiovascular effects?
PM2.5 exposure is linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes including atherosclerosis, hypertension, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction across epidemiological and preclinical studies.
PM2.5 exposure may elevate cardiovascular risk in clinical assessment; leaves open causal confirmation and interventional trials.
As an air pollutant, fine particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) can enter the body through the respiratory tract and cause adverse cardiovascular effects. Here, the effects of PM 2.5 on atherosclerosis, hypertension, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction are summarized from the perspective researches of human epidemiology, animal, cell and molecule. The results of this review should be proved useful as a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease caused by PM 2.5 .
