Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have shown associations between particulate matter (PM) and heart rate variability (HRV). OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of air pollution on the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) and the standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN) and effect modifications by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). METHODS: Between March 2007 and December...
