Air Pollution, Inflammation and Acute Coronary Syndrome — AIRACOS  

Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title: Impact of AIR Pollution on Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and 1-year Prognosis in Patients Hospitalized for Acute COronary Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of this study are: 1) To determine whether patients with acute coronary syndrome, the level of environmental exposure to particulate air pollutants in the week prior to admission, are related to concentrations of inflammatory molecules and oxidative stress. 2) To investigate whether the level of environmental exposure is an independent prognostic factor in terms of overall and cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction or unstable angina at 30 days, 6 and 12 months.
