The Journal of the American College of Cardiology published an article titled Higher Aircraft Noise Exposure Is Linked to Worse Heart Structure and Function by Cardiovascular MRI.
Aircraft noise is a growing concern for communities living near airports. This study aimed to explore the impact of aircraft noise on heart structure and function.
Conclusion is that higher aircraft noise exposure associates with adverse LV remodeling, potentially due to noise
increasing the risk of obesity and hypertension. Findings are consistent with the existing literature on aircraft noise and
cardiovascular disease, and need to be considered by policymakers and the aviation industry.
