SYNERGETIC INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND NUTRITIONAL FACTORS ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Abstract
This article examines the relationship and interaction of environmental and nutritional factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Based on an analysis of current scientific sources, it emphasizes that environmental pollution (PM2.5, NO₂, heavy metals, organic toxins) and unfavorable nutrition (excess trans fats, salt, antioxidant deficiency) exert a synergistic effect on the development of inflammatory and degenerative changes in the cardiovascular system. Special attention is given to the mechanism of factor interaction, which includes oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and mitochondrial disturbances. The necessity of a comprehensive preventive approach based on improving nutrition quality and reducing environmental risk exposure is justified.
