The effect of smoking on the heart


The fact that smoking affects the cardiovascular system - is not "scary", but, unfortunately, the sad reality. And while they write about it on every pack of cigarettes, the number of smokers in the world has not diminished. Many of those who are used to start your day than physical exercise, a puff of nicotine, such warnings are considered "fairy tales". These people simply believe that they did not happen. Unfortunately, experience shows the opposite: every year more than six million smokers die from heart disease. The most common diagnoses of smokers: myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris.  Yes, smoking affects the heart, no matter how much you smoked. The only difference is that if you smoke a lot, then you face a heart attack, and if not enough - coronary heart disease.
Myocardial infarction. Smoking contributes to the narrowing of blood vessels, poor blood supply to organs. Moreover, as a result of smoking thicken the blood, and its ability to clot is increased. All this becomes a cause of thrombosis (blood clots), which are extremely dangerous to life. Detached blood clot may enter the heart and cause death. This is called a myocardial infarction. The specialists of the World Health Organization demonstrated that the risk of heart attack is directly proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
If a person smokes, the risk of coronary heart disease had twice as much than that of his fellow non-smoker. Keep in mind that in this case, the important role played by certain factors. For example, the number of cigarettes smoked and the depth of inhalation of tobacco smoke. Moreover, the experience of playing a role, even a smoker and how early he became addicted to nicotine.
Smoking is often a cause of sudden death (coronary vessels of the heart). The more cigarettes smoked per day, the more you have a chance to say goodbye to life. Moreover, nicotine, affecting the cardiovascular system, causes the death of not only the elderly but also young people.

Did you know that maternal smoking affects the health of the newborn heart? Yes, unfortunately, often for the mistakes of adults have to pay for their children. Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, often suffer from heart disease. At the risk of smokers to give birth to a baby with congenital heart disease is 20 to 70%. Agree that irresponsible mom was lucky - the child was born healthy. But is this a reason not to give up cigarettes, nurturing your baby? You are really willing to risk?
