🔥 New Study Alert! 🩺 Wildfire smoke isn't just a respiratory threat — it's taking a toll on the heart, especially in older adults. 📊 A nationwide Medicare cohort (~22M) shows that long-term exposure to wildfire-specific PM2.5 is linked to significantly higher heart failure risk — more so than urban pollution. 📍 Vulnerable groups — women, Medicaid-eligible individuals, and low-income communities — face the highest burden. 🌫️ Tiny particles. Massive impact. 📚 Read the study: Hao et al, JACC July 2025 #Cardiology #AirPollution #WildfireSmoke #HeartFailure #EnvironmentalJustice #PM25 #PublicHealth #Epidemiology
