🔥 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.
