Fine Particulate air Pollution is Associated with Higher Vulnerability to Atrial Fibrillation—The APACR Study
Liao, Duanping; Shaffer, Michele L.; He, Fan; Rodriguez-Colon, Sol; Wu, Rongling; Whitsel, Eric A.; Bixler, Edward O.; Cascio, Wayne E. (2011-04)The acute effects and the time course of fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) on atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) predictors, including P-wave duration, PR interval duration, and P-wave complexity, were investigated in a ...
