Air pollution has become a significant concern for public health, particularly regarding its impact on cardiovascular health. This paper explores the relationship between environmental factors, specifically air pollution, and cardiovascular diseases. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a clear association between exposure to air pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension. Mechanisms underlying this association include inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and autonomic nervous system imbalance. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution. Mitigation strategies including environmental regulations, urban planning, and public health interventions are crucial for reducing exposure to air pollutants and improving cardiovascular outcomes. This paper underscores the importance of addressing environmental factors in the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases.
