Compliance in the treatment of hypertension. A need for action.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The risk for cardiovascular events increases within hours of near-roadway exposures. We aimed to determine the traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) and biological mechanisms involved and if reducing particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM2.5) inhalation is protective. METHODS:Fifty healthy-adults underwent multiple ...
