Our actions shape the world we live in. In turn, our natural, built, and social conditions shape our health. In recent years, the impact of environmental hazards on human health has emerged as an area of growing concern and intensive study. Among the various health issues linked to environmental factors, cardiovascular diseases are particularly notable due to their prevalence and their status as the leading cause of death worldwide. This compendium brings together a selection of reviews that offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this field.

This compendium opens with an overview highlighting key evidence across the multiple environmental exposures and a model for their intersections. The reviews included cover a wide array of environmental hazards, from air, noise, and light pollution to exposure to heavy metals and forever chemicals, as well as strategies to mitigate their impact on the cardiovascular system. Also covered are the impacts of climate change, including the rising incidence of heatwaves and wildfires, on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this comprehensive compendium, the authors delve into the mechanisms through which environmental exposures can influence cardiovascular health, examining both direct effects on the heart and vasculature, as well as through systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and other pathways. The scientific approaches used to interrogate how the environment alters cardiovascular health from toxicity studies, animal exposures, epidemiology, and modeling are discussed. Throughout this issue, there is attention to the differential impact of environmental risks on vulnerable populations and the structural inequities in levels of adverse exposures across communities.

As a new approach to bringing together timely reviews with timely science, this compendium was accompanied by a call for research letters reporting basic, observational, translational, and regulatory science related to advancing the understanding of the intersection of environment and cardiovascular disease risk. The research letters included in this issue are intended to be rapid communications of science in this quickly evolving field that will spark new discoveries and areas of research. Along with the accompanying review articles, they highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research in this field, bridging the gap between environmental science, cardiology, public health, and other disciplines. By integrating diverse perspectives, our compendium aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the environmental determinants of cardiovascular health and to inspire innovative strategies for prevention and intervention.

We hope that this compendium will serve as a valuable tool for those seeking to understand the environmental dimensions of cardiovascular health, and it will stimulate further research and action to protect both our health and the environment.

我们的行为塑造了我们生活的世界。反过来，我们的自然条件、建筑条件和社会条件也塑造了我们的健康。近年来，环境危害对人类健康的影响已成为人们日益关注和深入研究的领域。在与环境因素相关的各种健康问题中，心血管疾病因其患病率及其作为全球主要死亡原因的地位而尤为引人注目。本纲要汇集了精选的评论，全面概述了该领域的知识现状。

本纲要首先概述了多种环境暴露的关键证据及其交叉点的模型。这些评论涵盖了广泛的环境危害，从空气、噪音和光污染到接触重金属和永久化学物质，以及减轻其对心血管系统影响的策略。还涵盖气候变化（包括热浪和野火发生率上升）对心血管发病率和死亡率的影响。在这份综合概要中，作者深入研究了环境暴露影响心血管健康的机制，检查了对心脏和脉管系统的直接影响，以及通过全身炎症、氧化应激和其他途径的影响。讨论了通过毒性研究、动物暴露、流行病学和建模来探究环境如何改变心血管健康的科学方法。在本期杂志中，人们关注环境风险对弱势群体的不同影响以及各社区不良暴露水平的结构性不平等。

作为将及时评论与及时科学结合起来的新方法，本纲要还呼吁征集研究信件，报告与增进对环境和心血管疾病风险交叉点的理解相关的基础、观察、转化和监管科学。本期包含的研究信件旨在快速传播这一快速发展的领域的科学知识，从而激发新的发现和研究领域。连同随附的评论文章，它们强调了该领域跨学科研究的重要性，弥合了环境科学、心脏病学、公共卫生和其他学科之间的差距。通过整合不同的观点，我们的纲要旨在促进对心血管健康的环境决定因素的全面了解，并激发预防和干预的创新策略。

我们希望本纲要能够成​​为那些寻求了解心血管健康的环境因素的人的宝贵工具，并将激发进一步的研究和行动，以保护我们的健康和环境。
