Air pollution, exercise, and cardiovascular risk.

How nutrition might modify the possible effects of air pollution on cardiovascular diseases risk?

Cardiovascular implications of exposure to traffic air pollution during exercise.

Regular aerobic exercise is recommended by physicians to improve health and longevity. However, individuals exercising in urban regions are often in contact with air pollution, which includes particles and gases associated with respiratory disease and cancer. We describe the recent evidence on the cardiovascular effects of air pollution, and the implications of exercising in polluted environmen...

Particulate air pollution and risk of ST-segment depression during repeated submaximal exercise tests among subjects with coronary heart disease: the Exposure and Risk Assessment for Fine and Ultrafine Particles in Ambient Air (ULTRA) study.

BACKGROUND Daily variations in ambient particulate air pollution have been associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We therefore assessed the associations between levels of the 3 main modes of urban aerosol distribution and the occurrence of ST-segment depressions during repeated exercise tests. METHODS AND RESULTS Repeated biweekly submaximal exercise tests were performed duri...
