Environmental Health Perspectives November 2004

Environmental cardiology, the study of the connections between environmental exposures and cardiovascular disease, was once considered a bit flaky at best. But now this area of study is becoming a mainstream discipline--and its practitioners are serious as a heart attack. The Focus (p. A880) examines what is known and what is suspected to lie at the heart of these exposure-disease connections.
