Continuous exposure to noise impacts heart health: Boston researchers

According to a new study conducted by researchers at the Massacheuts General Hospital in Boston, continuous exposure to noise can adversely impact heart health. It was a 5 year long study in which 499 participants were involved. Noise causes a stress response in the brain, which could eventually lead to inflammation in the blood vessels and a heart attack or stroke, the study concludes. Participants who had the maximum exposure to noise, had a 3 times greater risk of heart disease.
