Infrasound induces coronary perivascular fibrosis in rats

Chronic exposure to industrial noise is known to affect biological systems, namely by inducing fibrosis in the absence of inflammatory cells. In rat hearts exposed to this environmental hazard we have previously found myocardial and perivascular fibrosis. The acoustic spectrum of industrial environments is particularly rich in high intensity infrasound (
