Long-Term Ecological Stress And Pathomorphological Changes In The Myocardium

Abstract

The article examines the impact of long-term ecological stress on the morphological condition of the myocardium. It presents data indicating the development of structural changes in heart muscle tissue under the influence of environmental pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals, and toxic compounds. Special attention is given to pathomorphological changes — myolysis, interstitial fibrosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic alterations. The importance of early diagnosis and preventive strategies is emphasized in the context of a deteriorating environmental situation.
