1. Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019

   Gregory A. Roth, George A. Mensah, Catherine Owens Johnson, et al. · 2020 · Journal of the American College of Cardiology · 11,674 cites

   Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consistent estimates of population health over time, used all available population-level data sources on incidence, prevalence, case fatality, mortality, and health risks to produce estimates for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. Prevalent case

2. Health Effects of Fine Particulate Air Pollution: Lines that Connect

   C. Arden Pope, Douglas W. Dockery · 2006 · Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association · 6,804 cites

   Efforts to understand and mitigate thehealth effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollutionhave a rich and interesting history. This review focuseson six substantial lines of research that have been pursued since 1997 that have helped elucidate our understanding about the effects of PM on human health. There hasbeen substantial progress in the evaluation of PM health effects at different time-scales of exposure and in the exploration of the shape of the concentration-response function. There has also been emerging evidence of PM-related cardiovascular health effects and growing knowledge regarding interconnected general pathophysiological pathways that link PM exposure with cardiopulmonary

3. Environmental and Health Impacts of Air Pollution: A Review

   Ioannis Manisalidis, Elisavet Stavropoulou, Agathangelos Stavropoulos, et al. · 2020 · Frontiers in Public Health · 5,261 cites

   One of our era's greatest scourges is air pollution, on account not only of its impact on climate change but also its impact on public and individual health due to increasing morbidity and mortality. There are many pollutants that are major factors in disease in humans. Among them, Particulate Matter (PM), particles of variable but very small diameter, penetrate the respiratory system via inhalation, causing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, reproductive and central nervous system dysfunctions, and cancer. Despite the fact that ozone in the stratosphere plays a protective role against ultraviolet irradiation, it is harmful when in high concentration at ground level, also affecting the

5. Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Hospital Admission for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases

   Francesca Dominici, Roger D. Peng, Michelle Lee Bell, et al. · 2006 · JAMA · 2,699 cites

   CONTEXT: Evidence on the health risks associated with short-term exposure to fine particles (particulate matter < or =2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter [PM2.5]) is limited. Results from the new national monitoring network for PM2.5 make possible systematic research on health risks at national and regional scales. OBJECTIVES: To estimate risks of cardiovascular and respiratory hospital admissions associated with short-term exposure to PM2.5 for Medicare enrollees and to explore heterogeneity of the variation of risks across regions. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A national database comprising daily time-series data daily for 1999 through 2002 on hospital admission rates (constructed fro

6. Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in 20 U.S. Cities, 1987–1994

   Jonathan M. Samet, Francesca Dominici, Frank C. Curriero, et al. · 2000 · New England Journal of Medicine · 2,193 cites

   BACKGROUND: Air pollution in cities has been linked to increased rates of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countries. Although these findings have helped lead to a tightening of air-quality standards, their validity with respect to public health has been questioned. METHODS: We assessed the effects of five major outdoor-air pollutants on daily mortality rates in 20 of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in the United States from 1987 to 1994. The pollutants were particulate matter that is less than 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. We used a two-stage analytic approach that pooled data from multipl

8. Long-term air pollution exposure and cardio- respiratory mortality: a review

   Gerard Hoek, Ranjini M. Krishnan, Rob M. J. Beelen, et al. · 2013 · Environmental Health · 1,887 cites

   Current day concentrations of ambient air pollution have been associated with a range of adverse health effects, particularly mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. In this review, we summarize the evidence from epidemiological studies on long-term exposure to fine and coarse particles, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and elemental carbon on mortality from all-causes, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease. We also summarize the findings on potentially susceptible subgroups across studies. We identified studies through a search in the databases Medline and Scopus and previous reviews until January 2013 and performed a meta-analysis if more than five studies
