Heavy metal exposure could increase cardiovascular disease risk, study finds
Exposure to heavy metals may increase risk of calcium buildup in the walls of coronary arteries, which can lead to chronically narrowed arteries, a new study found.
Metal exposure can increase cardiovascular disease risk
Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors, according to a new study. The findings support that metals in the body are associated with the progression of plaque buildup in the arteries and potentially provide a new strategy for managing and preventing atherosclerosis.
Mouse study finds fathers on unhealthy diets can increase risk of cardiovascular disease in their daughters
When they become fathers, men who have an unhealthy, high-cholesterol diet can cause increased risk of cardiovascular disease, or CVD, in their daughters, a University of California, Riverside-led mouse study has found.
Metal exposure a ‘significant risk factor’ for cardiovascular disease
New research has established a link between exposure to metal pollutants in the air and increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries, at a level comparable to established risk factors like smoking and diabetes The study was published in the journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Buildup of Metals in Body Can Worsen Heart Disease
There were also geographic hotspots for especially high levels of metals in urine. For example, people living in Los Angeles had markedly higher urinary tungsten and uranium level
Exposure to zinc, copper and other metals linked to heightened risk of heart disease
People with high levels of metals found in tobacco smoke, fertilizers and batteries are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, a disease that reduces blood flow to organs.
