“…Accordingly, our data points to an interesting interpretation that acute traffic noise exposure in a laboratory situation does not cause stressful autonomic responses. An elegant systematic review reported that the majority of studies performed at the roadside evidenced stressful effects of traffic noise on cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic health [61]. However, in view of our results, we deduced that the stress induced by exposure to road traffic noise is not only due to the auditory stimulus but due to the roadside environmental situation.…”

Previous studies have described significant impact of different types of noise on the linear behavior of heart rate variability (HRV). However, there are few studies regarding the complexity of HRV during exposure to traffic noise. In this study, we evaluated the complexity of HRV during traffic noise exposure. We analyzed 31 healthy female students aged between 18 and 30 years. Volunteers remained at rest seated under spontaneous breathing during 10 minutes with an earphone turned off, and then they were exposed to traffic noise through an earphone for a period of 10 minutes. The traffic noise was recorded from a very busy city street and the sound was comprised of car, bus, and trucks engines and horn (71-104 dB). We observed no significant changes in the linear analysis of HRV. CFP3 (Cohen's = 1.28, large effect size) and CFP6 (Cohen's = 1.11, large effect size) parameters of chaotic global analysis and Shannon (Cohen's = 1.13, large effect size), Renyi (Cohen's = 1.06, large effect size), and Tsallis (Cohen's = 1.14, large effect size) entropies significantly increased ( < 0.005) during traffic noise exposure. In conclusion, traffic noise under laboratory conditions increased the complexity of HRV through chaotic global analysis and some measures of entropy in healthy females.

“…2 A meta-analysis estimated OR = 1.03 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.06) of hypertension per every 5 dB increase in RTN exposure. 3 The public health importance of these fi ndings is due to the wide spread of both CVD and RTN exposure.…”

Community noise exposure and its eff ect on blood pressure and renal function in patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease.Folia Medica 2017;59(3): 344-356. doi: 10.1515/folmed-2017-0045 Background: Road traffi c noise (RTN) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension; however, few studies have looked into its association with blood pressure (BP) and renal function in patients with prior CVD. Aim: This study aimed to explore the eff ect of residential RTN exposure on BP and renal function in patients with CVD from Plovdiv Province. Materials and methods:We included 217 patients with ischemic heart disease and/or hypertension from three tertiary hospitals in the city of Plovdiv (March -May 2016). Patients' medical history, medical documentation, and medication regimen were reviewed, and blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were taken. Blood samples were analyzed for creatinine, total cholesterol, and blood glucose. Participants also fi lled a questionnaire. Glomerular fi ltration rate was estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. All participants were asked about their annoyance by diff erent noise sources at home, and those living in the city of Plovdiv (n = 132) were assigned noise map L den and L night exposure. The eff ects of noise exposure on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and estimated glomerular fi ltration rate (eGFR) were explored using mixed linear models. Results: Traffi c noise annoyance was associated with higher SBP in the total sample. The other noise indicators were associated with non-signifi cant elevation in SBP and reduction in eGFR. The eff ect of L den was more pronounced in patients with prior ischemic heart disease/stroke, diabetes, obesity, not taking Ca-channel blockers, and using solid fuel/gas at home. L night had stronger eff ect among those not taking statins, sleeping in a bedroom with noisy façade, having a living room with quiet façade, and spending more time at home. The increase in L den was associated with a signifi cant decrease in eGFR among men, patients with ischemic heart disease/stroke, and those exposed to lower air pollution. Regarding L night , there was signifi cant eff ect modifi cation by gender, diabetes, obesity, and time spent at home. In some subgroups, the eff ect of RTN was statistically signifi cant. Conclusions: Given that generic risk factors for poor progression of cardiovascular diseases cannot be controlled suffi ciently at individual level, environmental interventions to reduce residential noise exposure might result in some improvement in the management of blood pressure and kidney function in patients with CVD.

“…Noise is a general environmental stressor for the neuro-endocrine system, leading to activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system, increase in plasma cortisol and catecholamine levels, vasoconstriction, elevated blood pressure and, as a result, the CVD [4]. Meta-analyses demonstrated an elevated risk for hypertension, higher blood pressure and electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities among occupationally exposed workers [5][6][7].…”

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main mortality cause worldwide. Noise and vibration are considered to be occupational risk factors, but little is known about their cardiovascular effects in Bulgaria in terms of gender and various professional groups. The aim of this study has been to investigate the risk of prevalent CVD, associated with occupational noise and vibration exposure. Material and Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the data from 3 waves of the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) 2001-2010 -a nationally-representative cross-sectional questionnaire survey covering 3149 workers aged ≥ 15 years in Bulgaria. Data on self-reported heart disease were linked to self-reported occupational noise and vibration, adjusting for other factors. Results from the 3 waves were pooled together using the inverse variance heterogeneity (IVhet) meta-analysis. Results: For noise, the risk was elevated among women (relative risk (RR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.53-3.01), but not men (RR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.14-1.65). Long-term workers had RR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.60-1.69. For vibration, the risk was increased in all participants. It was higher among men (RR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.60-4.09) than it was among women (RR = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.77-2.27). Among long-term, industrial, and service workers it was RR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02-2.40; RR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.61-1.98, and RR = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.57-2.46, respectively. Conclusions: Occupational vibration was a risk factor for prevalent heart disease in Bulgaria. Noise was an alleged risk factor only among long-term workers and women.
