Vascular Medicine Conference-CVC 2026

Climate change has a significant impact on our vascular health, influenced by environmental factors like air pollution, extreme temperatures, and heatwaves. These conditions can worsen endothelial dysfunction, trigger inflammation, and lead to more cardiovascular issues. People living in areas with high pollution or severe climate conditions tend to experience higher rates of hypertension, peripheral artery disease, strokes, and heart attacks. Those most at risk include the elderly and individuals with existing cardiovascular problems.To tackle climate-related vascular diseases, we need effective public health strategies, policy changes, and community awareness initiatives. By reducing air pollution, encouraging climate-resilient urban planning, and incorporating environmental risk assessments into cardiovascular care, we can help lessen these negative health impacts. It's essential to understand how climate change interacts with vascular health to create preventive measures and safeguard communities around the globe.
