The environmental exposome in heart failure risk and progression Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 26 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41569-026-01247-1The environmental exposome, which includes pollution, contamination, climate and social determinants of health, is intricately involved in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In this Review, Hahad and colleagues explore the complex relationship between environmental stressors and heart failure, advocating for their inclusion alongside traditional risk factors and highlighting the need for new strategies to address the effects of the exposome on public health.

Invite un oiseau sur ta page
fais-le suivre de son ombre
d'un arbre
et de quelques feuilles mortes

Demande au vent assis dans la marge
de souffler entre les lignes
