Pollution worsens heart health
Air pollution is becoming a big threat to people's health. The heart is also becoming weak due to breathing polluted air. The poisoned air is causing blood clots in the veins of the heart. this claim National Institutes of Health (NIH) A major research has been done. Research has shown that small particles present in pollution are entering the body through breath. After this they reach the blood veins. Research has shown that blood clots (VTE) are developing in people's veins.
Blood clot in the heart affects the nerves of the heart. There is also a risk of heart attack due to this. In many people, this blood clot breaks and reaches the lungs, causing problems like shortness of breath. If timely treatment is not received, this blood clot can stop the blood flow.

This is also causing swelling in the veins of the heart. Earlier studies have also linked air pollution to stroke and heart attack, but this study shows that due to pollution, blood clots are forming in the veins of the heart.
