Key takeaway
Air pollution hurts our gut health, which can then harm our hearts. This matters because many Black communities live in areas with higher pollution, increasing our risk for heart problems.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cardiovascular helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
