The prevalence of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH), hypercholesterolemia with dominant inheritance pattern (HC-DI) and familial hypertriglyceridemia (FHTG), as well as suspected familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FDB) and the joint prevalence of familial dyslipidemias with dominant inheritance (FDL-DI) were analyzed.

Indeed, acquired mutations in key genes that regulate hematopoiesis and thus confer a selective advantage in the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors have established the concept of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential or CHIP. A growing body of clinical and experimental evidence is highlighting the link between CHIP and adverse outcomes, in particular atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and cancer. The apparent surprise about how these two different entities share common mechanisms can be explained by myeloproliferation and inflammation. These mechanisms are involved not only in the development of myeloid tumors but also in atherogenesis. Myeloproliferative neoplasms or MPN are a type of myeloid tumors where thrombotic risk is increased not only by higher blood counts but also by means of an accelerated atherosclerosis. Therefore, myeloproliferative neoplasms are a model of the link between clonal hematopoiesis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The concept of CHIP has important clinical applications.

Several evidences support its impact at the pathophysiology of arteriosclerosis, highlighting the role of the \"exposome\", a concept that encompasses all environmental factors such as air pollution, water pollution, climate change and noise and light pollution. These factors are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, high blood pressure (HBP), heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, air pollution is the main environmental factor related to CVD. Components such as particulates matter (PM_0.1, PM_2.5, PM₁₀), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxide and dioxide (NO_x), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O₃) have a high capacity to penetrate the body and trigger both local and systemic inflammatory processes. These effects promote a proinflammatory, procoagulant state and an increase in oxidative stress. Similarly, aquatic pollution exposes the body to pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics, both through direct contact and via the food chain, thus contributing to the phenomena mentioned above. On the other hand, factors such as noise and light pollution, together with effects caused from climate change (extreme temperatures, wildfires, desertification, among others), have been closely linked to pathophysiological processes that favour the development and progression of atherosclerosis. These mechanisms include sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation, stress hormones release such as cortisol and catecholamines, as well as chronodisruption. This review analyses the role of factors related to the exposome (air pollution, water pollution, noise and light pollution and phenomena associated with climate change) in atherosclerosis progression, as well as their involvement in the incidence, prevalence and prognosis of CVD. Physicians should promote awareness of environmental pollution impact on cardiovascular health, integrating the assessment of environmental factors into their clinical practice, advocating for sustainable policies to prevent diseases and protect present and future health.</p>","PeriodicalId":45230,"journal":{"name":"Clinica e Investigacion en Arteriosclerosis","volume":" ","pages":"500802"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144033630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
