Effects on the heart of smokers<\/h2>\n

The products contained in tobacco smoke, mainly nicotine and carbon monoxide, produce harmful effects on the cardiovascular system, such as increased blood pressure, platelet aggregation and blood cholesterol, as well as damage to the artery walls and acceleration of arteriosclerosis.<\/p>\n

The final consequence of all this is that the coronary arteries become blocked due to the growth of atheromatous plaques in their walls, which leads to a reduction in blood flow to the myocardium and, therefore, to the development of angina and heart attacks. The lack of blood flow to the heart muscle and heart attacks lead to the heart dilating and decreasing its contractility. This heart with coronary arteriosclerosis and myocardial lesions could be called a “smoker’s heart”.<\/p>\n

Regular smoking is known to cause long-term cardiovascular damage. Tobacco smoke products slowly damage the arteries. However, there are also studies showing that the acute effects of smoking can have serious consequences. It has been observed that in people who have had a heart attack, the size of blood clots is larger if they had smoked in the hours before.<\/p>\n

The larger the blood clots, the more extensive the heart attacks. This further highlights the need to quit smoking and not leave it for later. It should not be assumed that there is always time to stop smoking and that at a somewhat older age one can be saved from all the negative effects that tobacco has on health, since just one cigarette can have serious consequences.<\/p>\n

Some people believe that they are better protected by smoking low-nicotine cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. However, it has been proven that all forms of tobacco are harmful to cardiovascular health. Furthermore, not only smoking has negative consequences, but chewing tobacco or inhaling second-hand smoke also increases the risk of suffering a heart attack.<\/p>\n

The effects of tobacco on the heart are directly related to the amount consumed, regardless of the method of administration. The consequences are worse the earlier the consumption begins, and they affect men more than women. Although quitting smoking leads to an improvement in health in a short time and the risk of suffering a heart attack decreases dramatically, the risk continues for years, especially in heavy smokers. However, it should be remembered that it is never too late to quit. The smoker’s heart will thank you.<\/p>\n
