Is living under a flight path bad for the heart?

Living with airplanes regularly thundering over your head could risk the healthy pumping of your heart, suggests a new Swiss study.

“Based on 4.6 million adults across Switzerland, researchers found that dying from a heart attack was more common with increased exposure to aircraft noise.

"The effect was especially evident for people who were exposed to really high levels of noise, and was dependent on how long those people had lived in the noisy place," researcher Matthias Egger of the University of Bern, told Reuters Health.”
