BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesized that ambient particulate air pollution is able to modify the autonomic nervous control of the heart, measured as heart rate variability (HRV). Previously we reported heterogeneous associations between particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 microm (PM2.5) and HRV across three study centers. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated whether exposure misclassification, effect modification by medication, or differences in particle composition could explain the inconsistencies. METHODS: Subjects with coronary heart disease visited clinics biweekly in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Erfurt, Germany; and Helsinki, Finland for 6-8 months. The standard deviation (SD) of NN intervals on an electrocardiogram (ECG; SDNN) and ...
