Discussion

Review identifies pollution and psychosocial stress as significant contributors to cardiovascular disease, suggesting preventive measures.

Pollution and climate extremes significantly increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, suggesting urgent action.
Research links air pollution, including PM2.5, to 0.3-0.7% increased cardiovascular mortality and blood pressure rises.
Epidemiological and experimental studies reveal that oxidative and inflammatory pathways mediate the effects of environmental stressors.
Preventive strategies, including regulating air quality and supporting urban greening, are vital to mitigate these health risks.

Aher et al. (2025) studied this question.
