Acute effect of ambient fine particulate matter on heart rate variability: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of panel studies
Abstract Background Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) is a predictor of autonomic system dysfunction, and is considered as a potential mechanism of increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) induced by exposure to particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5). Previous studies hav...
