<p>Air pollution and environmental noise increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, according to the European Society of Cardiology.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Their detrimental impact on people living with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) has been highlighted in their updated guidelines for the first time.</p>
<figure id="attachment_139102" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-139102" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-139102" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/61A0F555-256A-4BDA-88B4-DDC9DD7B040B.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="442" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-139102" class="wp-caption-text">Wearing facemasks was also suggested</figcaption></figure>
<p>The “Environmental Factors” section of the guidelines reads: “Air pollutants<br />
are estimated to be one of the 10 leading risk factors for global mortality.</p>
<p>“Exposure to air pollution increases risk of MI (Myocardial infarction), as well as hospitalisation and death from heart failure, stroke, and arrhythmia.</p>
<p>“Patients with CCS should avoid heavily traffic-congested areas.</p>
<p>“Air purifiers with high-efficiency particulate air filters reduce indoor pollution, and wearing N95 respirator face masks in heavily polluted areas has been shown to be protective.</p>
<p>“Environmental noise also increases the risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease).</p>
<p>“Policies and regulations that reduce air pollution and environmental noise should be supported, and patients should be advised about these risks.”</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>The updated guidelines also advise patients to stop smoking, and eat a diet high in vegetables, fruit, and whole grains and low in saturated fat and alcohol.</p>
<p>They should maintain a healthy body weight and be moderately active most days.</p>
