Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is the single largest cause for increased hospitalization after fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure. Patients with left HF often progress to right ventricular (RV) failure even with optimal medical care. An increase of PM2.5 of 10 μg per cubic meter was associated with a 76% ...
