Poor condition or exposure to air pollution was found to trigger heart problems. It is at least evidenced by the results of recent studies by scientists in China involving the majority of people living in the city of Beijing during and after the Beijing Olympics 2008.
The study involved 125 healthy men and women doctors at a hospital in Beijing during and after the Olympics. During the Olympics there is a significant reduction in the levels of soluble CD62P, which causes blood clotting factors.
That's because during the Olympics, the Chinese government's massive efforts to reduce air pollution. One of the efforts is to close factories for a while and ban the use of vehicles (cars) on the highways.
But after the Olympics ended, the risk of cardiovascular disease increased back problems increased, followed by blood pressure problems.
"We believe this is the first major study that clearly shows that changes in exposure to air pollution affects the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in healthy young people," said Junfeng (Jim) Zhang, a professor at the USC Medical School.
The findings, involving citizens of Beijing during and after the Olympics at least help to solve problems related to previous studies, which directly can not find an association between the level of pollution on cardiovascular health.
The study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
