In the span studied, millions of people were exposed to unhealthful levels of #air #pollution. When inhaled, this microscopic pollution not only aggravates people's lungs, it also enters the bloodstream, provoking inflammation that can induce #heartattacks and #stroke. For years, researchers have struggled to quantify the danger the smoke poses.

"Some Heart Attacks Might Be Triggered by Germs

Researchers in Finland have found evidence that the plaque found in our arteries can contain bacteria that could set off a heart attack under the right circumstances.

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks.

Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks. Though not yet definitive, the study may someday point to another way we can prevent or treat heart attacks, the researchers say."

Heart attacks aren’t as fatal as they used to be

The proportion of deaths from heart attacks dropped nearly 90 percent through smoking reduction, statin drugs, CPR training, and advanced cardiac care.
