Abstract

Overview

Environmental stress can disturb the integrative functioning of the cardiovascular system and trigger adaptive and/or maladaptive cellular responses. The increasing use of mobile communications raises concerns about the effects of 900 MHz electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on cardiovascular health.

Findings

• Exposure to 915 MHz EMF was investigated in a mouse model over 14 days.
• Analysis included cardiac metabolic, antioxidative, apoptotic, and fibro-inflammatory profiles.
• No significant changes were observed in oxidative phosphorylation or expression of myocardial fibro-inflammatory cytokines, antioxidant enzymes, and apoptosis markers.
• The structural integrity of the cardiac tissues remained preserved.

Conclusion

This study suggests that the apoptotic, antioxidant, metabolic, and fibro-inflammatory profiles of the heart remained stable under EMF exposure in the analyzed mice, indicating no immediate risk to cardiovascular health from EMFs as per the parameters assessed.
