This position paper from the ESH Working Group on Environment and Hypertension synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of environmental pollution in the development of hypertension. It highlights the mechanistic pathways involving oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and neurohormonal dysregulation triggered by pollution exposure. Importantly, the paper outlines mitigation strategies at both population and… Continue reading The impact of environmental pollution and climatechange on hypertension: a position paper by theEuropean Society of Hypertension (ESH) WorkingGroup on Environment in Hypertension
