These findings suggest that short-term exposure to air pollution may be associated with elevated blood pressure.
PMID: Sci Rep. 2019 Dec 30 ;9(1):20298. Epub 2019 Dec 30. PMID: 31889065 Abstract Title: Short-term effects of air pollution on blood pressure. Abstract: Elevated blood pressure (BP) has been proposed as a possible pathophysiological mechanism linking exposure to ambient air pollution and the increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In this study, we …
