Researchers are investigating whether air pollution plays a role in heart disease occurring in younger people (under 40). This is a record-based study that compares the medical histories and neighborhood air quality of people who have had heart disease with similar people who have not, to understand whether pollution exposure contributes to premature heart problems.
Heart disease in young adults has become more common in recent years, and the World Health Organization has shown that air pollution is harmful to heart health even at lower levels than previously thought. This study aims to determine whether poor air quality is one reason why more young people are developing heart disease.

If you qualify, researchers will review your existing medical records and information about air quality in your neighborhood—no visits or special procedures are required. The study compares people with heart disease to similar people without heart disease to identify patterns between air pollution exposure and heart health. Your participation involves allowing researchers to access your medical history and postal code information that's already in the system.
