Lowering BP may reduce CVD risk in people exposed to air pollution – The Statesman
Air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter, has been implicated in cardiovascular risks, partly through effects on BP.
Intensive lowering of blood pressure (BP) is effective in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients exposed to high levels of air pollution, a new study suggests.
