Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and ambient air pollution: A dose-effect relationship and an association with OHCA incidence.

<h4>Background</h4>Pollution has been suggested as a precipitating factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, data about the link between air pollution and the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are limited and controversial.<h4>Methods</h4>By collecting data bot...
