Abstract
Significance: According to the World Health Organization, noncommunicable diseases are the globally leading cause of mortality.
Recent Advances: About 71% of 56 million deaths that occurred worldwide are due to noncommunicable cardiovascular risk factors, including tobacco smoking, unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, overweight, arterial hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, which can be either avoided or substantially reduced.
Critical Issues: Thus, it is estimated that 80% of premature heart disease, stroke, and diabetes can be prevented. More recent evidence indicates that environmental stressors such as noise and air pollution contribute significantly to the global burden of cardiovascular disease. In the present review, we focus primarily on important environmental stressors such as transportation noise and air pollution. We discuss the pathophysiology of vascular damage caused by these environmental stressors, with emphasis on early subclinical damage of the vasculature such as endothelial dysfunction and the role of oxidative stress.
Future Directions: Lower legal thresholds and mitigation measures should be implemented and may help to prevent vascular damage.
