Opposing effects of particle pollution, ozone, and ambient temperature on arterial blood pressure
B Hoffmann, H Luttmann-Gibson… - Environmental …, 2012 - ehp.niehs.nih.gov
Background: Diabetes increases the risk of hypertension and orthostatic hypotension and
raises the risk of cardiovascular death during heat waves and high pollution episodes.
Objective: We examined whether short-term exposures to air pollution (fine particles, ozone)
and heat resulted in perturbation of arterial blood pressure (BP) in persons with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: We conducted a panel study in 70 subjects with T2DM,
measuring BP by automated oscillometric sphygmomanometer and pulse wave analysis …
