A new study suggests that people living near airports may be up to four times more likely to have a heart attack due to exposure to aircraft noise. Researchers found that those living in high noise areas had stiffer and thicker heart muscles, which are less efficient at pumping blood. This could lead to a higher risk of heart attack, life-threatening heart rhythms, or stroke.

Professor James Leiper, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, which helped to fund the study, said: “For most of us, a plane is seen as a ticket to some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
