The Impact of Air Pollution on Heart Failure: Environmental Considerations

News 18  

Air pollution has become a major global concern due to its detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Among the various health risks associated with air pollution, an emerging area of concern is its impact on heart failure. Furthermore, the impact of air pollution on heart failure extends beyond particulate matter. The environmental considerations in understanding the impact of air pollution on heart failure include geographical and temporal variations. The adverse effects of particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, and their complex interactions with cardiovascular health emphasize the need for comprehensive efforts to reduce air pollution and protect vulnerable populations from the debilitating consequences of heart failure.
