Cardiologists' awareness of the effects of air pollution on cardiovascular disease in Vietnam and the Philippines - Descriptive evaluation

The link between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and air pollution risk factors is not fully understood and has not been scientifically investigated in many developing Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. The aim of this paper is to investigate practising cardiologists' opinions an...
