Heavy metal exposure could increase cardiovascular disease risk, study finds
Exposure to heavy metals may increase risk of calcium buildup in the walls of coronary arteries, which can lead to chronically narrowed arteries, a new study found.
Metals can build up in body, worsen heart disease
These and other metals found in the environment can collect in the body and exacerbate heart disease, new research suggests.
Metal exposure a ‘significant risk factor’ for cardiovascular disease
New research has established a link between exposure to metal pollutants in the air and increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries, at a level comparable to established risk factors like smoking and diabetes The study was published in the journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Metal exposure can increase cardiovascular disease risk
Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors, according to a new study. The findings support that metals in the body are associated with the progression of plaque buildup in the arteries and potentially provide a new strategy for managing and preventing atherosclerosis.
Exposure to zinc, copper and other metals linked to heightened risk of heart disease
People with high levels of metals found in tobacco smoke, fertilizers and batteries are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, a disease that reduces blood flow to organs.
Metal Exposure Equals Smoking? Shocking New Insights Into Heart Disease Drivers
Research reveals that exposure to environmental metals significantly contributes to the buildup of calcium in coronary arteries, similar to traditional risk factors such as smoking and diabetes. This association offers new insights into the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis,
