Cardiovascular diseases are predisposed by various risk factors, including hypertension, as the most important modifiable risk factor. However, there is a lack of sufficient data concerning the impact of air pollution on hypertension. We sought to study the associations of short-term exposure to Sulfur dioxide (SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) and particulate matter (PM\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) with the number of daily hospital admissions of hypertensive cardiovascular diseases (HCD).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    All hospitalized patients between March 2010 to March 2012 were recruited with the final diagnosis of HCD based on the International Classification of Diseases 10 (codes: I10-I15) from 15 hospitals in Isfahan, one of the most polluted cities in Iran. The 24-hour average concentrations of pollutants were obtained from 4 monitoring stations. In addition to single- and two-pollutant models, we used Negative Binomial and Poisson models with covariates of holidays, dew point, temperature, wind speed, and extracted latent factors of other pollutants controlling for multi-collinearity to examine the risk for hospital admissions for HCD affected by SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    and PM\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    exposures in the multi-pollutant model.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 3132 hospitalized patients (63% female) with a mean (standard deviation) age of 64.96 (13.81) were incorporated in the study. The mean concentrations of SO2 and PM10 were 37.64 \u03bcg\/m3 and 139.08 \u03bcg\/m3, respectively. Our findings showed that a significantly increased risk of HCD-induced hospital admission was detected for a 10 \u03bcg\/m3 increase in the 6-day and 3-day moving average of SO2 and PM\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    concentrations in the multi-pollutant model with a percent change of 2.11% (95% confidence interval: 0.61 to 3.63%) and 1.19% (0.33 to 2.05%), respectively. This finding was robust in all models and did not vary by gender (for SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    and PM\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) and season (for SO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ).
