[HTML][HTML] Effects of exposure to air pollution on blood coagulation
A Baccarelli, A Zanobetti, I Martinelli, P Grillo… - Journal of Thrombosis …, 2007 - Elsevier
Background: Consistent evidence has indicated that air pollution increases the risk of
cardiovascular diseases. The underlying mechanisms linking air pollutants to increased
cardiovascular risk are unclear. Objectives: We investigated the association between the
pollution levels and changes in such global coagulation tests as the prothrombin time (PT)
and the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in 1218 normal subjects from the
Lombardia Region, Italy. Plasma fibrinogen and naturally occurring anticoagulant proteins …
