Summary:
Long term exposure to fine-particle air pollution (from vehicle fuel combustion, industries, wood burning stoves and fireplaces) is thought to increase risk of coronary artery disease
Short-term exposure may be deadly for people who already have CAD
Higher particulate concentration was linked to heart attacks in patients at risk, according to a study of 12,864 patients in areas where air pollution was monitored
Conclusion: People with cardiac disease should monitor local air pollution and take precautions when necessary
