RESUMO
La contaminación atmosférica es un factor preocupante y con impacto sobre la salud pública. Múltiples estudios relacionan la exposición a contaminantes atmosféricos con el aumento de eventos cardiovasculares, mortalidad cardiovascular y mortalidad por todas las causas. También se ha demostrado relación entre el aumento de contaminación y la elevación de la presión arterial, así como con una mayor prevalencia de hipertensión arterial. Los contaminantes que desempeñan un papel más relevante en esta asociación son las partículas aéreas en suspensión, el dióxido de nitrógeno y el dióxido de azufre. El objetivo de esta revisión es entender los mecanismos implicados en este aumento y conocer las publicaciones más recientes que relacionan contaminación atmosférica, riesgo cardiovascular e hipertensión arterial
Air pollution is a worrying factor and has an impact on public health. Multiple studies relate exposure to air pollutants with an increase in cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality and mortality for all causes. A relationship has also been demonstrated between increased pollution and high blood pressure, as well as a higher prevalence of hypertension. Pollutants that play a more relevant role in this association are particulate matters, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide. The objective of this review is to understand the mechanisms involved in this increase and to find the most recent publications that relate pollution, cardiovascular risk and hypertension
