Heart Attack Survivors Who Live in Polluted Areas Are More Likely To Die Young 2013

Heart attack survivors who live in polluted areas, especially those with higher concentrations of tiny air particles, are more likely to die prematurely according to a 2013 study in England and Wales. The research found higher death rates among acute coronary syndrome survivors in more polluted areas like London, where the main sources of the dangerous man-made particles are road vehicles, factories and power stations. Patients from poorer backgrounds who often live in more polluted areas also tended to have worse health outcomes after being diagnosed with heart problems.

Heart attack survivors who live in polluted areas are more likely to

die young
2013






Second article by Emily Payne discussed about, heart attack survivors who are
exposed to air pollution are more likely to die young. She stated, higher levels of tiny
particles in the air increased death rates among survivors of acyte coronary syndrome.
Research conducted in England and Wales, found that London had higest estimated
concentration of the particle. The main sources of the dangerous man-made particles,
which lodge deep in the lungs, are road vechicle, factories and power stations. The
research indicated that patients from poorer background often live in areas with higher
air pollution and tend to do less well after being diagnosed with heart problems.
