Résumé :

ObjectivesRecent interest has developed in understanding the health effects attributable to different components of particulate matter. This review evaluates the effects of black carbon (BC) on cardiovascular disease in individuals with pre-existing disease using evidence from epidemiologic and experimental studies.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to identify epidemiologic and experimental studies examining the relationship between BC and cardiovascular health effects in humans with pre-existing diseases. Nineteen epidemiologic and six experimental studies were included. Risk of bias was evaluated for each study.ResultsEvidence across studies suggested ambient BC is associated with changes in subclinical cardiovascular health effects in individuals with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Limited evidence demonstrated that chronic respiratory disease does not modify the effect of BC on cardiovascular health.ConclusionsResults in these studies consistently demonstrated that diabetes is a risk factor for BC-related cardiovascular effects, including increased interleukin-6 and ECG parameters. Cardiovascular effects were associated with BC in individuals with CAD, but few comparisons to individuals without CAD were provided in the literature.
