Environmental Pollution and Cardiovascular Diseases helps stakeholders enhance their knowledge about environmental pollution, weather conditions, climate change, and impacts on the cardiovascular system. The book further aims to ameliorate the global burden of cardiovascular deaths attributable to pollution by identifying trends in pollution-linked cardiovascular disease from the 1990s to present day. Overall, air pollution is estimated to cause about 34% of ischemic heart disease deaths. As these figures show no sign of declining, this book is a must-have for researchers, cardiologists, and others seeking to understand such an important etiological factor in so many cardiovascular illnesses.

• Opens new avenues for readers to enhance their knowledge about environmental pollution, weather conditions, climate change, and their linkage with cardiovascular diseases
• Highlights air pollution conditions of different countries on various continents, along with the mechanisms that contribute to hypertension, congenital heart diseases, myocardial infarction, coronary artery diseases, and pollution-related death
• Provides information about highly polluted countries, those that are less polluted, and the epidemiological trends of coronary artery diseases
