Abstract
Noise exposure modifies the function of multiple organs and systems. Acute noise exposure - both in laboratory settings where traffic noise is simulated and in real-life working environments - can cause increases in blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output. This review examines the effects of noise pollution on the cardiovascular system, with a particular focus on non-auditory effects such as noise-induced arterial hypertension.Entities:
