Abstract

The relationship between particle matters (PMs) and cardiac arrhythmia has been investigated in numerous studies. However, evidence from developing countries is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ambient PMs and hospital admissions for cardiac arrhythmia in China and to examine the potential effect modifiers. A time-stratified case-crossover analysis was conducted in 26 large Chinese cities. In total, we identified 175,265 hospital admissions for cardiac arrhythmia between January 2014 and December 2015 from electronic hospitalization summary reports. Conditional logistic regression was performed to estimate the percentage changes in cardiac arrhythmia admissions in relation to interquartile range increases in air pollutants. Age, gender and prespecified comorbid health conditions including hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure and hyperlipidemia were stratified to evaluate susceptibility factors. PMs levels were positively associated with the number of hospital admissions for cardiac arrhythmia. Both PM2.5 and PM10 had the strongest impact on lag 2 days. An interquartile range increase in PM2.5 (47.5 μg/m3) and PM10 (76.9 μg/m3) concentrations on lag 2 days was associated with inc...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
