Traffic noise-induced harm to cardiovascular system

Noise may disrupt the body on the cellular level in a way that increases the risk of common heart disease risk factors, according to a new review that examined the underlying mechanisms that may lead to noise-induced heart disease. The review is in response to growing evidence connecting environmental noise, including from road traffic and aircrafts, to the development of heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, stroke and heart failure.
