空气污染与心率变异性关系的研究进展

The Relationship Between Air Pollution and Heart Rate Variability

心血管疾病是威胁中国居民健康的首要原因,空气污染是影响心血管疾病发生和发展的重要环境危险因素。心率变异性是评价自主神经功能的指标,并且与心血管疾病预后密切相关。研究表明,空气污染可能通过影响心脏自主神经功能而导致心血管疾病的发生,但目前研究结果并不一致。现对国内外空气污染与心率变异性关系的研究现状进行综述。

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading threat to population health in China.Air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases.Heart rate variability is an indicator of autonomic nervous function and associated with the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.Studies have shown that air pollution might impact the development of cardiovascular diseases through the changes of cardiac autonomic nervous function,but the results of current research are not consistent.This article reviews the relationship between air pollution and heart rate variability.
