Abstract

Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and death in numerous countries. Many studies have revealed that the increased ambient air pollution caused by industrialization and urbanization is highly associated with morbidity and mortality worldwide. Air pollution encompasses a wide variety of pollutants, of which oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM), and lead (Pb) are of utmost concern. The development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is strongly associated with exposure to the fine PM content of air pollution. Based on strong epidemiological evidence, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure are just some ramifications of exposure to air pollutants. With this concept in mind, this chapter aims to understand the relationship between exposure to different common air pollutants (PM, SO2, NO2, O3, Pb, and CO) and the occurrence of CVD. Different acute cardiac events, the impact of short-term and long-term exposure to air pollution, the pathophysiological processes underlying CVD, and future opportunities in this field are given particular attention. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
