Abstract:
With the continuous development of society and economic activities, ambient air pollution has become an important global environmental and public health issue, and its significant adverse effects on human health have attracted increasing attention. Previous studies have shown a significant association between air pollution exposure and cardiovascular events including cardiac arrest. Although the association between air pollution exposure and risk of cardiac arrest has been identified by several studies, the results remain inconsistent and the pathogenic mechanism is not yet clear. To date, most studies focused on the impact of air pollution exposure on the onset of cardiac arrest, while few studies explored the risk of death from cardiac arrest. Here we reviewed studies investigating the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and risk of cardiac arrest.
