Despite advances in therapeutics and implementing what is already known, patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain at high risk for adverse health outcomes. The term ‘residual risk’is often used to succinctly convey lingering cardiovascular risk even after optimal treatment of risk factors. In recent years, there has been a focus on understanding residual thrombotic and residual inflammatory risks 1 to improve CVD outcomes.Environmental exposures, particularly air pollution, have been causally linked with the development and progression of CVD, leading to elevated risks for adverse events including mortality. 2 Particulate matter air pollution alone is responsible for∼ 9 million annual deaths globally. 2 Robust evidence from animal and human studies has elucidated the mechanisms of air pollution–induced cardiovascular effects, which are partially mediated through haemodynamic, inflammatory, and thrombotic factors. 2 Patients with pre-existing CVD and risk factors are more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollutants. For example, each 10 µg/m3 increase in ambient particulate matter air pollution exposure is associated with a 26% increase in major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, independent of clinical factors. 3 Moreover, additional environmental exposures, such as gaseous pollutants, noise, nocturnal light, and other factors of the built environment, have also been linked with poor outcomes. 2
