The Connection Between Diabetes and Heart Arrhythmias
The human heart beats roughly 3 billion times during the course of an average lifetime. Every single time it beats, blood is drawn into its two upper chambers, held there briefly by a network of valves, and then pumped out forcefully through its two lower chambers. This drawing-and-pumping action ensures that about six liters of freshly oxygenated blood leaves the heart and enters the bloodstream every minute—a volume that can rise to more than 35 liters per minute when someone is exercising.

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...

A 2:1 ratio nearest propensity matching method was employed for several demographic, social, and clinical variables. In-hospital outcomes were compared between patients with PAH and those without, using t-test and chi-squared test as appropriate. Patients with cardiogenic shock were excluded. Releva...
