The association between prolonged exposure to air pollution (AP) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD.Mar 4 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Korea explored the association between prolonged exposure to air pollution and ST-elevation myocardial infarction and in-hospital cardiogenic shock.
Background Ischemic heart diseases , such as acute myocardial infarction , present a significant health challenge across the globe, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Previously, researchers found that AP exposure was linked to adverse clinical outcomes in AMI patients, in both short and long-term exposures.
Hourly AP concentrations obtained from the Korean Ministry of Environment were measured at 329 nationwide monitoring stations using various methods. Results and discussion Compared to NSTEMI patients, STEMI patients were younger, predominantly male, had higher smoking rates, fewer underlying chronic conditions, and presented with more severe angiographic and clinical features, including a higher rate of cardiogenic shock complications during the index hospitalization.
