Environmental exposure to heavy metals seriously threatens children's health, potentially impacting the cardiovascular system. Mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid metabolism disturbances play a significant role in this process. Although cardiovascular diseases typically manifest in adulthood, an increasing number of studies suggest that their origins trace back to childhood and result from long-term pathophysiological changes. Therefore, early identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial for effective preventive measures and reducing future health risks.
