The aim of the study was to evaluate a possible relationship between coronary artery lesion progression related to habitation place (cities vs. villages) and air pollution. Methods: There were 148 (101 men and 47 women) patients with a median age of 70 (63\u201374) years enrolled into retrospective analysis based on the coronary angiography results and their habitation place. Patients with stable coronary syndrome, who underwent repeated percutaneous coronary interventions were enrolled into the analysis based on demographical and clinical characteristics combined with annual exposure to air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, and NO2). Results: The results of multivariable regression analysis showed a significant relationship between coronary artery lesion progression requiring percutaneous intervention and NO2 chronic exposure in patients living in cities of Poland (OR 2.00, 95% CI: 0.41\u20139.62, p &lt; 0.001). The predictive value of air pollution exposure at habitation place for coronary artery lesion progression requiring percutaneous intervention was evaluated by receiver-operator curve analysis, which revealed an area under the curve of 0.939, yielding a sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 90.7%. Conclusions: Coronary artery lesion progression can be related to chronic exposure to NO2 air pollution in patients living in cities in Poland.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13091376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,15]],"date-time":"2023-09-15T02:54:13Z","timestamp":1694746453000},"page":"1376","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Long-Term Exposure of Nitrogen Oxides Air Pollution (NO2) Impact for Coronary Artery Lesion Progression\u2014Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8080-2764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Urbanowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery and Transplantology Department, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Skotak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environmental Protection, National Research Institute, 01-045 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6563-0877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krzysztof J.","family":"Filipiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Science, Maria Sklodowska-Curie Medical Academy, 00-136 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Hypertensiology, Angiology and Internal Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4213-8708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Olasi\u0144ska-Wi\u015bniewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery and Transplantology Department, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8409-3192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krystian","family":"Szczepa\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environmental Protection, National Research Institute, 01-045 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4729-6518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Wyrwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hypertensiology, Angiology and Internal Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9823-5964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u0119drzej","family":"Sikora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrzej","family":"Tykarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hypertensiology, Angiology and Internal Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"Jemielity","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery and Transplantology Department, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"499","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2022.01.007","article-title":"Epidemiology of Coronary Artery Disease","volume":"102","author":"Duggan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Surg.
