Zusammenfassung
Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that exposure to chronic aircraft and road traffic noise is associated with cardiovascular risk including endpoints like blood pressure, hypertension and ischemic heart disease. However, only little is known about acute effects of personal noise exposure. Objective: We examined the association of personal day-time noise exposure and heart rate variability (HRV) as a marker for cardiac rhythm. Methods: Between March 2007 and December 2008 a panel study consisting of individuals having type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance or being healthy was conducted…
