Air Pollution: Air pollution is dangerous for every human being, but it is also affecting heart patients badly. A recent research has claimed that patients who are suffering from heart-related diseases are unable to adapt to the changes in the environment.

Air Pollution: Air pollution in the capital Delhi is at a dangerous level these days. Every year too, pollution starts showing its outbreak as soon as the cold starts. Due to this pollution, people have faced many problems. Instructions are issued to take a variety of precautions. Now a recent research has revealed that bad air can prove to be very dangerous for heart patients too. In the research, heart patients have been instructed to avoid the effects of poor air quality.

Researchers specifically studied 115 different proteins that indicate inflammation and inflammation in the body. The results of Intermountain Health Research, presented at the American Heart Association's 2024 Scientific Sessions International Conference in Chicago, showed that two inflammatory markers — CCL27 (c-C motif, chemokine ligand 27) and IL-18 (interleukin 18) — were elevated in patients with heart failure. These were people who were exposed to bad air.

Inflammation in the heart increases

While previous research has shown that people with certain conditions such as heart failure, coronary disease, asthma and COPD are struggling with worsening air pollution, new research suggests that the level of heartburn or inflammation in these patients increases during poor air quality.

"These biomarkers were found to be increased in people with no cardiovascular disease and in people without heart disease," said Benjamin Horn, principal investigator and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Researchers looked specifically at blood tests for 115 different proteins that indicate increased inflammation or inflammation in the body.

These spikes are caused either by forest smoke in summer or by changes in winter weather. It is also clear that such air pollution incidents put more pressure on the body of patients who already have heart problems.
