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.
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.
Columbia Study Links Metal Exposure to Increased Heart Disease Risk
Environmental metal exposure significantly contributes to coronary calcium buildup, comparable to traditional cardiovascular risk factors like smoking. Research from Columbia University indicates that
This much coffee can lower your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke: study
Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) is defined as having two or more cardiometabolic diseases — Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or stroke.
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.
Metals can build up in body, worsen heart disease
These and other metals found in the environment can collect in the body and exacerbate heart disease, new research suggests.
