carbon monoxide and Atrial Fibrillation

carbon monoxide has been researched along with Atrial Fibrillation in 7 studies

Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
carbon monoxide : A one-carbon compound in which the carbon is joined only to a single oxygen. It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, toxic gas.

Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Using a time-stratified case-crossover design, over 400,000 myocardial infarction (MI) events from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) database, over 2 million CVD emergency hospital admissions and over 600,000 CVD deaths were linked with daily mean concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than 2."3.80Short-term effects of air pollution on a range of cardiovascular events in England and Wales: case-crossover analysis of the MINAP database, hospital admissions and mortality. ( Armstrong, B; Bhaskaran, K; Hajat, S; Milojevic, A; Smeeth, L; Wilkinson, P, 2014)
"We used a time-stratified case-crossover design to study the association between short-term exposure to UFPs, particulate matter <10 microm in diameter (PM(10)), nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) and carbon monoxide (CO) (measured at single background station) and hospital admissions for stroke in Copenhagen (2003-2006)."3.76Association between short-term exposure to ultrafine particles and hospital admissions for stroke in Copenhagen, Denmark. ( Andersen, KK; Andersen, ZJ; Ketzel, M; Loft, S; Olsen, TS; Raaschou-Nielsen, O, 2010)
"ICDs also detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes (PAF) that result in rapid ventricular rates."1.33Increased risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes associated with acute increases in ambient air pollution. ( Catalano, PJ; Dockery, DW; Gold, DR; Link, MS; Luttmann-Gibson, H; Mittleman, MA; Rich, DQ; Schwartz, J; Speizer, FE, 2006)
