Association between insomnia and the incidence of myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis

On By aledopressIn Cardiology, Neurology, Environment

BackgroundInsomnia has been closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) including myocardial infarction (MI). Our study aims to assess the eligibility of insomnia as a potential risk factor for MI.MethodsPubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using terms; such as “Insomnia” and “MI.” Only observational controlled studies with data on the incidence of MI among …

Hourly Air Pollutants and Acute Coronary Syndrome Onset In 1.29 Million Patients

On By aledopressIn Cardiology, Environment

Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been linked with daily hospitalization and mortality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, the associations of sub-daily (hourly) levels of criteria air pollutants with the onset of ACS and its subtypes have rarely been evaluated. Methods: We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study among 1,292,880 ACS patients from 2,239 …
