Abstract MP68: The Association Of Long-term Air Pollution Exposure With Left Ventricular Structure And Function In The Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis

Background: Air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity, including heart failure. Exposure to pollutants has been associated with hypertension and inflammation, which contribute to cardiac remodeling. Few studies have investigated long-term air pollution concentrations and measures of cardiac structure, and no large longitudinal analyses have investigated this association. Hypothesis: Long-term air pollution concentrations are...
