Highlighting the latest research: August 2026

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

In this month's Research Roundup presented by the British Association for Nursing in Cardiovascular Care (BANCC), Kavunku and Lotto examine three recent studies exploring the growing cardiovascular effects of extreme heat and air pollution. The studies consider the future burden of heat-related cardiovascular disease, the association between extreme heat and social vulnerability, and the association between fine particulate air pollution and outcomes in people with valvular heart disease. The implications for cardiovascular nursing practice are discussed, and full references are provided for those wishing to examine the evidence in greater detail.
