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.
The findings indicated that intensive BP lowering (defined as goal systolic blood pressure lower than 120 mmHg) led to significant reduction in cardiovascular events (combination of heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, or death from cardiovascular diseases) especially in patients exposed to higher pollution levels.
