Abstract: Background: Evidence suggests that long-term exposure 
to  particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to 
oxidative stress,  inflammation, and risk of ischemic heart 
disease and death. Short-term exposure  may contribute to 
complications of atherosclerosis, including plaque  
vulnerability, thrombosis, and acute ischemic events. These 
findings are  inconclusive and controversial, thus requiring 
further study. We evaluated the  effect of short-term PM 
exposure in triggering acute ischemic events and  characterized 
which patients are at greatest risk. Methods: A case-crossover  
study design was used to analyze ischemic events in 12,865 
patients living on Utah's Wasatch Front  with monitoring of 
ambient inhalable (PM10) and fine (PM2.5) air pollution.  
Participants were patients from the cardiac catheterization 
registry of the  Intermountain Heart Collaborative Study, a 
large, ongoing longitudinal registry  of coronary angiography 
patients. Study endpoints were incident ischemic heart  disease 
events, including myocardial infarction (MI) and  ....
