Many studies have shown that exposures to air pollution are associated with cardiovascular events, although the mechanism remains to be clarified. To identify whether exposures to ambient particles act on autonomic function via the lipid/endothelial metabolism pathway, whether effects of particulate matter <2.5 mum in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) on heart rate variability (HRV) were modified by gene polymorphisms related to those pathways were evaluated.
