ORs calculated for an increase of interquartile range of pollutant. 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 all five indicator elements, 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 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).
