Scientific evidence shows that environmental risks are responsible for a large part of cardiovascular diseases, the most frequent cause of death in Europe.<\/strong><\/div>\n

A European Environment Agency analysis, published, presents the link between the environment and cardiovascular disease and highlights that action against pollution, extreme temperatures and other environmental hazards is a cost-effective measure to reduce the burden of disease, including heart attacks and strokes.<\/p>\n

The EEA report ‘Beating cardiovascular disease – the role of Europe’s environment’ describes the scientific evidence on the environmental determinants of cardiovascular disease in Europe and the corresponding EU policy responses. The analysis shows that reducing exposure to pollution and mitigating and adapting to climate change, as well as combating energy poverty, can significantly reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and resulting deaths in Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
