The article "Environmental Impacts on Cardiovascular Health and Biology: An Overview" by Jacob R. Blaustein, Matthew J. Quisel, Naomi M. Hamburg, and Sharine Wittkopp discusses the growing evidence that environmental stressors and climate change contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The authors highlight the impact of various environmental exposures, including air pollution, climate change, noise, light pollution, and certain chemicals, on cardiovascular health. They summarize the mechanisms by which these exposures affect cardiovascular systems, such as through oxidative stress, immune cell activation, and disruption of circadian rhythms. The article also addresses the importance of neighborhood factors and health equity, emphasizing how urban planning and community characteristics can influence cardiovascular health. Additionally, it explores the concept of the "exposome," which encompasses the cumulative effects of multiple environmental exposures over a lifetime. Finally, the authors propose strategies to reduce environmental cardiovascular risk, including policy changes, individual actions, and community interventions, to mitigate the harmful impacts of environmental stressors on cardiovascular health.The article "Environmental Impacts on Cardiovascular Health and Biology: An Overview" by Jacob R.
