Abstract | :
Previous studies of ambient air pollutants and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) have yielded mixed results, and the association between air pollution and ventricular arrhythmias in these patients remains unclear. This study aimed to assess and quantify the association between exposure to major air pollutants [CO, inhalable particles (PM10), SO2, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), O3, and NO2] and the presence of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with ICD. |
