Epidemiology, Mechanisms and Prevention in the Etiology of Environmental Factor-Induced Cardiovascular Diseases.

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular diseases are a significant cause of mortality worldwide, and their prevalence can be amplified by a range of environmental factors. This review article critically evaluated the published information on the epidemiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of various environmental factors such as air indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution, climate change, and soil pollution. Preventative measures to mitigate these effects including public health responses are discussed with gaps in our knowledge for future studies.
