Aviation noise has been added by scientists to the list of factors that increase the risk of myocardial infarction.

This was the conclusion reached by the staff of the University Medical Center in Mainz in Germany after a series of experiments.

The team subjected mice exposed to the noise of aircraft engines with a noise level of 72 to 85 dB, which is comparable to the noise level of aircraft engines during takeoff. However, laboratory animals were kept under such conditions 24 hours a day for four days.

As a result, the scientists found that the loud noise caused inflammatory cells to stick to the walls of blood vessels, which led to impaired heart function and increased damage. heart muscle.

Recall that data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that a myocardial infarction occurs every 40 seconds only in the United States. In Australia, people over the age of 25 have about 160 heart attacks every day, including the same myocardial infarction.
