Black Carbon Exposure, Oxidative Stress Genes, and Blood Pressure in a Repeated-Measures Study

Mordukhovich, Irina; Wilker, Elissa; Suh, Helen; Wright, Robert; Sparrow, David; Vokonas, Pantel S.; Schwartz, Joel (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009-11)

BACKGROUND. Particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and elevated blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A small number of studies ...
Postural Changes in Blood Pressure Associated with Interactions between Candidate Genes for Chronic Respiratory Diseases and Exposure to Particulate Matter

Wilker, Elissa; Mittleman, Murray A.; Litonjua, Augusto A.; Poon, Audrey; Baccarelli, Andrea; Suh, Helen; Wright, Robert O.; Sparrow, David; Vokonas, Pantel; Schwartz, Joel (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009-06)

BACKGROUND. Fine particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)] has been associated with autonomic dysregulation. OBJECTIVE. We hypothesized that PM2.5 influences postural changes in systolic blood pressure ...
