REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, LONDON - Although not a major cause of heart attacks, breathing polluted air increases the risk of heart attack. This risk is increased six hours after inhaling pollutants.
The research was conducted by comparing the 20 thousand cases of heart attacks in England and Wales with air pollution data in the area. The results show that the substance contained in vehicle exhaust fumes can trigger heart attacks.
Director of the British Heart Association, Jeremy Pearson, said the risk of heart attack occurred after 6 hours and then declined. "We know that pollution has adverse consequences for health. He can freeze the blood and increases the risk of heart attack," he said as reported by the BBC on Wednesday (21/9).
The leader of the study, Krishnan Bhaskara, pollution does not reveal the main triggers of heart attacks, but this needs to be avoided. Unhealthy diet and smoking are the main triggers of heart attacks. "Analogous like a piece of cake, a cream in a pastry pollution triggers heart attacks," he said.
Community as much as possible to not approach the area of high pollution levels and implement healthy living.
