New Study: Aircraft Noise Can Damage the Heart
New research indicates that aircraft noise exacerbates the damage caused by myocardial infarction. Traffic noise may be a significant factor in the progression and worsening…
Read about what scientists are discovering about heart attacks at SciTechDaily.com. Heart attacks (myocardial infarctions) occur when blood flow to the heart is blocked or reduced. Symptoms are characterized by acute chest pain, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Heart attacks can increase the likelihood of cardiac arrest, which is why research is being conducted on how to reduce the severity of this event.
