Association between Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Subclinical Myocardial Fibrosis in Structurally Normal Hearts: a CMR-based study
In individuals with structurally normal hearts, chronic exposure to PM2.5 and PM10 was associated with higher synthetic-ECV values, suggesting early diffuse myocardial fibrosis related to air pollution.
