ORs calculated for an increase of 1 μg/m3 in exposure. Number of measurements = 312 for lag 0, 322 for lag 1, 314 for lag 2, and 311 for lag 3.

a

The statistical model included the source-specific PM2.5 concentration; a dummy for each subject; linear terms for time trend, temperature (lag 3), and relative humidity (lag 3); and a penalized spline (df = 3) for change in heart rate during exercise test.

b

ST segment depression > 0.1 mV; n = number of events at minimum (lag 0).

c

ST segment depressions > 0.1 mV with horizontal or downward slope; n = number of events at minimum (lag 0).
