...…(2017) 174 1591–1619 1603 combined antioxidant and •NO substitution therapy seems to be a more promising strategy, as shown for pentaerithrityl tetranitrate, the only organic nitrate that improves oxidative stress, nitrate tolerance and endothelial dysfunction (Munzel et al., 2011; 2014b)....

...…myocardial infarction, chronic stable coronary artery disease and arterial hypertension (Sorensen et al., 2011; Raaschou-Nielsen et al., 2012; Munzel et al., 2014a); this was also supported by a recent metaanalysis for traffic noise exposure and incidence of ischaemic heart disease (Vienneau…...

...The effect size of this association seems to be inconsistent between studies, with larger effects reported for men, aged individuals, and diabetics.(150) Associations of similar magnitude have been reported for stroke as well....

...Similarly, exposure to aircraft noise, particularly at night, induces endothelial dysfunction measured by flow-dependent dilation, as well as an increase in blood pressure.(150) In animal models, chronic exposure to continuous noise (80–100 dB) has been reported to increase heart rate and mean systemic arterial blood pressure, functional changes that were associated with an increase in plasma corticosterone, adrenaline, and endothelin-1....

...In Europe, 40% of the population is exposed to road traffic noise exceeding 55 dBA L DN and >30% to >55 dB at night.(150) Constant exposure to noise induces stress and affects cognitive function, autonomic homeostasis, and sleep quality, all of which could increase CVD risk....

...Associations of similar magnitude have been reported for stroke as well.(150) Although the exposure–response relationship does not suggest a biological threshold,(152) the effect seems to be higher at higher levels of exposure because of occupational conditions or residential proximity to major sources of noise pollution such as airports....

...Exposure to noise within this range has also been associated with an increase in hypertension.(149,150) The effect size of this association seems to be inconsistent between studies, with larger effects reported for men, aged individuals, and diabetics....

...Meta-analyses have been carried out to derive exposure–response relationships that can be used for quantitative health impact assessments.(91) Noise-induced sleep disturbance constitutes an important mechanism on the pathway from chronic noise exposure to the development of adverse health effects....
