Scientists have reported an unusual noise cause of coronary heart disease The development of coronary heart disease may be associated with exposure to noise from the external environment, Spanish scientists state.

Researchers from Baresona (Barcelona Institute for Global Health) conducted a study assessing the impact of road noise on people's health. They analyzed the data of volunteers from 749 major cities, collected over 20 years.. Research report published by Environment International.

The authors of the work concluded that people living in places close to highways, roads, expose themselves to a higher risk of getting coronary heart disease (CHD) due to prolonged noise exposure produced by transport. Researchers attribute the negative impact of the noise environment on the heart to a stable stress response, which is formed by the body in response to constant noise..

“Prolonged exposure to road noise induces a sustained stress response leading to the release of stress hormones and an increase in heart rate, blood pressure.

This, in turn, provokes the development of cardiovascular diseases,” the scientific experts concluded..

Ischemic heart disease is a pathology associated with impaired blood supply to the myocardium.. People with coronary artery disease are highly susceptible to heart attack or stroke. Reducing the amount of noise people are exposed to could be an effective way to reduce deaths from the effects of the disease, researchers say..
