Show Notes
In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study examining the impact of short-term ozone exposure on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular health. The research reveals that ozone may reduce oxygen availability, triggering compensatory responses like increased red blood cell count, which contributes to arterial stiffness, and emphasizes the need for further research into the biological mechanisms linking ozone exposure to cardiovascular diseases.
