ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025 is behind us! We filled it with our work, spreading awareness about the exposome and its impact on cardiovascular health. Inspiring sessions and great people — see you next year! Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science UMB #ESCPrev2025 #PublicHealth

Exposure to air pollution may be associated with higher ischaemic stroke incidence, particularly posing a higher risk to non-elderly women 👱‍♀️ academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article… European Society of Cardiology Victor Aboyans Silvia Castelletti Francesco Perone Andrea Gallardo #cvprev

Highlights from ESC Heart & Stroke 2024: from exposome to AI, from heart to brain. Prof. Łukasz Kuźma presented how air pollution shapes cardiovascular and neurological risk. #ESCStroke Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

#HeartFailure2025 PolishSmog provides evidence from Poland: Heatwaves ↑ HF deaths, esp. in women >65 & rural areas. Air pollution worsens the effect. Climate change = deadly for vulnerable groups Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY

#HeartFailure2025 Can air pollution accelerate HF mortality? In a nationwide Polish study PM2.5 & BaP increased HF deaths, especially in women >65, low-SES areas. Up to 11,000 HF deaths were avoidable under PM2.5 zero-emission scenarios. Massimo Piepoli Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY

Given its strong inflammatory component, we hope air pollution will be increasingly recognized as a modifiable risk factor in HF prevention

New data from Poland shows that long-term exposure to light pollution may increase the risk of ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation. Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science ESC Council on Stroke Chairperson Państwowy Instytut Medyczny MSWiA mp.pl/paim/issue/art…

First nationwide evidence from Poland on climate change & CV health ☀️❄️ Extreme heat & cold ↑ MACCE & mortality 👴 >65 y/o, men & rural = highest risk 💨 PM₂.₅ worsens cold effects, O₃ worsens heat effects 📉 Hospitalizations ↓ but mortality ↑ #ESCCongress Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY

Great to attend #ESC2025 and listen to an inspiring session by ESC Council on Stroke Chairperson. Valuable insights on new challenges in cardiology and AF care. Polish Branch of Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science Anna Kurasz Michał Święczkowski Tomasz Januszko

At the 2025 PCS Congress, Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY presented 4 studies on exposome impacts in CVD disease. 🎉 Congratulations to the whole team! We won the Best Publication of 2024 Award and the Best Paper Award from AISN UMB Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science Państwowy Instytut Medyczny MSWiA

🎉 Congratulations! Anna Kurasz member of the Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY team, has officially joined the PTK Club 30 – an elite group of outstanding young cardiologists. 👏 Mariusz Tomaniak Wojciech Wańha Sylwia Iwańczyk Karolina Kupczynska UMB Klub 30 PTK Polskie Towarzystwo Kardiologiczne

Delighted to give a keynote lecture about Polish Smog EP-PARTICLES STUDY at the University of Liverpool — honored to be part of Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science #nosilos #nobunkers #teamLCCS

Our study, the first worldwide to report the incidence of IVT-treated ischemic stroke in relation to short-term exposure to air pollution, has just been published in Environmental Health — an important contribution to stroke epidemiology! rdcu.be/eIMUw
