Cardiac Asthma – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Air Pollution

Those people who live in areas with polluted air tend to be at higher risks of developing cardiac asthma. In fact, a majority of reported cases is caused by frequent and constant exposure to fumes, gas releases, and smoke from industrial plants, vehicles, construction site, or factories. Just as smoke from tobacco products irritates the lungs, these harmful particles in the air would lead to many inflammatory reactions which result in lung constriction and damage over time. Even though it is hard to prevent air pollution on your own, a feasible solution is to reduce your daily exposure. Staying inside or having an air filter can be a good option to increase the quality of your life and reduce the risk. [4]
