Summary
This study tested an indoor air pollution intervention called AIRWISE in 20 adults aged 55 and older with heart disease. Participants received personal air cleaners, a color-changing air quality monitor, and educational materials. The goal was to see if they would use these tools regularly over 6 months, especially during wildfire season. This pilot study will help design a larger trial to see if improving indoor air can benefit heart health.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a larger study that helps heart patients reduce indoor air pollution exposure, potentially improving heart health.
