    Title: Air pollution and emergency room visits for arrhythmias: Are there potentially sensitive groups?
    Authors: Chiu, HF;Yang, CY
    Contributors: Division of Environmental Health and Occupational Medicine
    Abstract: Recent studies showed that air pollution is a risk factor for hospitalization for arrhythmias. However, there is limited evidence to suggest which subpopulations are at higher risk for arrhythmia development due to increased air pollutant exposure. This study was undertaken to examine the modifying effect of specific secondary diagnosis (including hypertension, diabetes, and congestive heart failure) on the relationship between frequency of emergency room (ER) visits for arrhythmias and ambient air pollutants concentrations. ER visits for arrhythmias and ambient air pollution data for Taipei were obtained for the period 2000-2006. The relative risk of ER visits was estimated using a case-crossover approach. Data showed an increased risk of ER visits for arrhythmias in relation to increased O3 levels among individuals with a secondary diagnosis of hypertension and congestive heart failure.
