Background: The associations between short-term exposure to ambient ozone (O) pollution and the risks of hospital admissions (an indicator for morbidity) for different subtypes of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the associations between short-term exposure to O and the risks of hospital admissions for all-cause CVD, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, cardiac diseases, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke.

Methods: Four electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, were searched for articles published up to December 21, 2023.

Importance: Given the increasing wildfire activity in the US, assessment of the health impacts of wildfire-specific fine particulate matter (PM), a growing source of surface air pollution, and its relative toxicity compared to non-wildfire PM is needed to support mitigation strategies.

Objective: To investigate associations of long-term exposure of wildfire-specific and non-wildfire PM with cardiopulmonary hospitalization risks.

Design Setting And Participants: We obtained over 89 million cardiopulmonary hospitalizations for residents across 20 US states from 2006 to 2019 from the State Inpatient Databases.

Background: Air pollution is a known contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD death. However, the potential role of nighttime light (NTL) in the relationship between ambient air pollution and CVD risk remains uncertain.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we analyzed data from 416 032 participants in the UKB (UK Biobank) to investigate the relationships among air pollution, NTL, and CVD.

Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are a leading cause of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) operations in Germany. Complications that arise during HEMS operations are challenging due to limited resources. However, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) score and National Early Warning Score (NEWS) provide potential for risk stratification.
