Noise throws the heart out of rhythm

With an increasing level of noise, the incidence of atrial fibrillation also increases dramatically. Scientists found that the incidence of atrial fibrillation in subjects with extreme noise annoyance reactions increases to 23 percent, compared to just 15 percent without this environmental impact. Looking at the proportion of sources of extreme noise pollution, aircraft noise came first with 84 percent during the day and 69 percent during sleep.
