ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the past 50 years, there has been a substantial decline in the incidence of CVD and related mortality in high-income countries, largely due to the mitigation of modifiable risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes. However, a significant burden of CVD remains in low- to middle-income countries, despite their lower prevalence of traditional risk factors; other environmental factors, particularly pollution, play a significant role in this attributable risk. Mounting evidence underscores a strong association between pollution and adverse health effects, including CVD. This article is part 1 of a 2-part state-of-the-art review and discusses air pollution and its adverse effects on CVD, highlighting pathophysiological mechanisms and methods to reduce air pollution and exposure to these pollutants.
