Environmental risk factors and cardiovascular health

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address the underrepresentation of environmental risk factors, such as air pollution, noise, and chemical contamination, in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment strategies. They synthesize current evidence on how these exposures contribute to cardiovascular health issues and propose the exposome framework to understand their cumulative impact. The review emphasizes the need for urgent research and policy changes to mitigate these risks, particularly for vulnerable populations.
