Aircraft noise exposure before MI amplifies subsequent cardiovascular inflammation

Traffic noise may play an essential role in the development and deterioration of ischemic heart disease. Researchers from the Cardiology Department at the University Medical Center Mainz now discovered that noise exposure(average sound pressure level 72 dB; peak level 85 dB) up to 4d resulted in pro-inflammatory aortic gene expression in mice.
