A New Study Shows How Seriously Air Pollution Can Affect Your Heartbeat
For China’s 1.4 billion people, the simple act of breathing has long been something of a risk. Living in the ninth-dirtiest country in the world in terms of air quality, China’s residents lose an average of 2.6 years of life per capita due to atmospheric pollution alone. The greatest risk, of course, is pulmonary, with air pollution leading to shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, asthma episodes, and chest pain. But pollution affects the heart too; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that exposure to fine-particulate matter as well as to nitrogen oxides alone can lead to premature aging in bloo...

Air Pollution and Arrhythmias
Can J Cardiol. 2023 Apr 4:S0828-282X(23)00293-3. doi: 10.1016/j.cjca.2023.03.023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAir pollution is commonly defined as the contamination of the air we breathe by any chemical, physical or biological agent that is potentially threatening to human and ecosystem health. The common pollutants known to be disease-causing are particulate matter, ground-level ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Although the association between increasing concentrations of these pollutants and cardiovascular disease is now accepted, the association of air pollution and arrhythmias is less wel...

Effect of Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide on Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Complicated with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Int Heart J. 2022;63(2):312-318. doi: 10.1536/ihj.21-170.ABSTRACTThis paper aims to observe the effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) complicated with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF).A total of 103 patients with ACMP complicated with HFREF admitted to our department from October 2016 to March 2020 were observed. Patients were divided into control group (50 cases) and experimental group (53 cases). The control group was given diuretic, vasodilator, and digitalis treatment, and the experimental group was supplemented with rhBN...
