Cardiovascular effects of environmental noise exposure
TLDR
Evidence from epidemiologic studies demonstrates that environmental noise is associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke, and the importance of noise mitigation strategies for public health is stressed.Abstract:
The role of noise as an environmental pollutant and its impact on health are being increasingly recognized. Beyond its effects on the auditory system, noise causes annoyance and disturbs sleep, and it impairs cognitive performance. Furthermore, evidence from epidemiologic studies demonstrates that environmental noise is associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Both observational and experimental studies indicate that in particular night-time noise can cause disruptions of sleep structure, vegetative arousals (e.g. increases of blood pressure and heart rate) and increases in stress hormone levels and oxidative stress, which in turn may result in endothelial dysfunction and arterial hypertension. This review focuses on the cardiovascular consequences of environmental noise exposure and stresses the importance of noise mitigation strategies for public health.read more

Short sleep duration and weight gain : a systematic review
TL;DR: This work reviews the literature regarding short sleep duration as an independent risk factor for obesity and weight gain and suggests sleep deprivation may influence weight through effects on appetite, physical activity, and/or thermoregulation.

TL;DR: Assessing vascular function, including that of smooth muscle and even perivascular adipose tissue, may be an appropriate parameter for clinical investigations, and alternative diagnostic parameters such as vascular stiffness index and intima/media thickness ratio are discussed.

Environmental Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease.
TL;DR: An understanding of how different domains of the environment, individually and collectively, affect CVD risk could lead to a better appraisal of CVD and aid in the development of new preventive and therapeutic strategies to limit the increasingly high global burden of heart disease and stroke.

Global epidemiology, health burden and effective interventions for elevated blood pressure and hypertension.
TL;DR: Zhou et al. as discussed by the authors summarized the current data on the global epidemiology of blood pressure and hypertension and evaluate changes over time, and discussed interventions that can reduce the burden of high blood pressure.

TL;DR: The primary purpose of the metanalysis was to address whether studies conducted on HRV and MI were consistent rather than established a cut-off for SDNN, and results are consistent with the final finding, that a disrupted HRV dynamic (low SDNN) is associated with higher adverse outcome.

Road traffic noise and cardiovascular risk
TL;DR: Studies on the association between community noise and cardiovascular risk were subjected to a meta-analysis for deriving a common dose-effect curve and an increase in risk was found with increasing noise levels above 60 dB(A) thus showing a dose-response relationship.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to predict an individual's ability to maintain sleep in the face of sound using spontaneous brain rhythms from electroencephalography (EEG), and that individuals who generated more sleep spindle production went on to exhibit higher tolerance for noise during a subsequent, noisy night of sleep.

TL;DR: There are independent effects of traffic-related noise and air pollution on CHD mortality, and subjects in the highest noise decile had a 22% increase inCHD mortality compared with persons in the lowest decile.
