Smoking Damages Heart

Written By bopuluh on Rabu, 06 Juli 2011 | 20.11

Having cared for several days, my friend has finally died of a heart attack for the second time. The deceased died at the age that has not so old to measure life expectancy now.

One year ago, the late also never had a heart attack. After undergoing treatment for a long time keadaanya improved. I do not know whether, after experiencing a first heart attack, the deceased medication regularly or not. And what I see is, before the deceased were treated again, his lifestyle has not changed much.

At the time of the first heart attack, while being treated, beberpa time I visited with her. Still fresh in my memory of the late promise to change his lifestyle, and most importantly when it is not to smoke anymore.

Smoking is a habit of late, which I knew from college students. Chances of time sitting in high school also had to do it. About two packs of cigarettes a day smoked out. Three months after a first heart attack, smoking habit late relapse.

Several times I was reminded that the habit was stopped, but the deceased did not seem to care. Perhaps because they feel healthy and as if there are no more problems with his heart, or indeed opium smoking it regained control of his mind. I remember too late that time commented, "if it wanted to die, until the time, can not be avoided, people who do not smoke also die," he said.

Yes, indeed when, where and how we die, only God knows. However, the best human being must be sought. Trying to quit smoking in my opinion is a must endeavor, especially when it's obvious there are diseases they cause.

Several studies have shown that if a person smoking before age 20, life expectancy will be reduced by 14 years. So, smokers will die prematurely, causing premature death.

My friend eventually was proved, he finally died at the age not yet so old, a premature death. Deaths should be preventable. Unfortunately, a smoker's very difficult to stop the addiction to cigarettes, but other smokers, not one or two, but millions, may stop altogether.

According to research, smoking cessation in someone who had experienced a heart attack will reduce the risk of repeat heart attacks and sudden cardiac death.

Unfortunately, most people find cigarettes affects only the lung disease, like cancer. Indeed the main pemyebab lung cancer is smoking, but smoking is also a major risk factor for heart disease. Coronary heart disease, as the leading cause of death due to heart disease, culprit is cigarette.

Smoking is responsible for one out of every five deaths in America. About 40% of deaths due to heart caused by smoking. Compared with nonsmokers, you have two times greater risk of dying of heart attacks, and five times more likely meningggal due to sudden cardiac death.

And, if you smoke, then you also have other risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, hiperlipidemi, then your risk for heart died because it will increase much several times.

Cigarettes contain hundreds of chemicals in it can cause structural damage to the heart muscle, heart and blood vessels. No need to talk about hundreds of chemicals, nicotine and carbon mono oxide alone is enough to cause damage.

Nicotine, for example, will improve cardiac output by accelerating the heart rate 15-25 beats per minute, raise the blood pressure of 10 to 20 mmHg. To maintain this increased cardiac work, the heart will require more oxygen. Because the blood of smokers contains nicotine and carbon monooksida, this oxygen demand so unfulfilled, even the more heart muscle is damaged. It can spur heart attacks.

Carbon monooksida can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood viscosity. Carbon monooksida moving with the flow of blood causes irritation, inflammation of the arteries, including coronary blood vessels.

The process of irritation and inflammation is what triggers the formation of plaque on blood vessel walls. Plaque is formed from cholesterol and blood cells, the blood vessels deifying it as a little rusty pipe inside. Rust-rust the longer it will be many more and pile up, close the pipe hole. If rust is totally closed, the flow of blood to the heart muscle will stop.

Cigarettes are the leading cause of death due to heart. The content of nicotine and carbon mono oxide alone is enough to make damage, injury, on the structure of muscle and blood vessels of your heart. Before it's too late, as my late friend, and millions of deaths due to other cigarettes, why you do not choose to quit smoking? ... .... Millions of other people can quit smoking, you can certainly .... Hopefully!

The result is known group of patients who have a heart attack in the morning until noon is the most severe disease group.

The morning group had cardiac enzyme markers of tissue death in the highest blood compared with patients who had a heart attack in the afternoon (around 6 pm until the evening).

recognize heart disease

Doc, I want to ask, what are the baseline characteristics of people who develop heart disease? Is the pain in chest, like a punctured, a sign that we have heart disease? Later I often feel pain in the chest, especially if I'm tired to work, rest less, also during cold weather. I beg the help of the explanation. Before and after that I thank you.

For Mr Hendra health care, baseline characteristics of people who suffer from heart disease are highly variable, depending on what you experienced heart disease. It is true, chest pain, such as punctured, it could be a characteristic of heart disease if you are referring to is an acute coronary heart attacks.

However, not everywhere in the chest area can be considered as an acute heart attack. Obviously there are certain places and often times do not just taste like punctured. Symptoms can also be accompanied by a sense that spreads to the arms, back, accompanied by cold sweat, feeling like a pounding heavy pressure, and several other symptoms.

At the heart disease caused by heart failure of different characteristics, even so there's no chest pain at all and can be dominated by a sense of shortness of breath, can not sleep on your back, leg swelling, walking away is not strong, and much more.

In addition, there are still many other diseases that could have not caused heart problems, but give symptoms like heart disease. Therefore, what you feel is not necessarily caused by heart problems. The possibility of other organs also not be forgotten. Chest muscle pain can cause such symptoms.

To find out the exact cause, there must be an evaluation before you can say you have a heart abnormality. My advice, see a doctor that you trust because you should do a thorough examination of your condition.

Looking at your young age, very rare incidence of heart attack or heart failure. However, it is not possible when considering lifestyle factors and behaviors that are unhealthy. I do not know how your life so far, daily activities that may affect what you experience today. Hopefully my advice will help.

Cholesterol heart disease

Just because young people who then do not care about the food diasup. Though perhaps unwittingly levels of bad cholesterol in the blood are high. Therefore, do not hesitate to check cholesterol.

Cholesterol is a type of fat molecule in the bloodstream. In the normal levels or less than 200 mg / dl, cholesterol is a friend of the body systems. "Cholesterol is needed to form cell membranes, creating hormones, are also sources of energy," said dr.P.Tedjasukamana, Sp.JP, cardiologist.

He explains, there are two types of cholesterol, namely low-density lipoprotein (LDL), known as bad cholesterol. Drain serves LDL cholesterol throughout the body. Excess LDL cholesterol causes fatty buildup on artery walls.

Meanwhile, another type of fat is high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which has the opposite function of LDL.

"HDL or good cholesterol serves to remove excess cholesterol from the blood vessel wall and prevent the buildup," said dr.Tedja in educational media event titled Kill Devil Cholesterol Anytime held by Pfizer in Jakarta (1 / 7).

Excess levels of LDL (greater than 130 mg / dl) will cause a buildup in blood vessels over time will constrict blood vessels. The result is a heart attack or stroke.

Sudden death from heart attack is to watch out because the numbers continue to rise. "Coronary heart disease is the most dreaded killer disease. About 80 percent died suddenly," he said.

There are several risk factors associated with cholesterol that can not be changed, ie the age factor, there is a history of high cholesterol in the family, and gender. Men at higher risk for coronary heart disease, but the risk is similar in menopausal women.

Lifestyle is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Consumption of foods high in fat, lack of exercise, and smoking, trigger a rise in cholesterol levels.

"Foods that are high in fat and cholesterol that we asup will increase the amount of cholesterol from the liver. Therefore, limit the amount of calories diasup fit our energy needs," said dr.Endang Darmoutomo, Sp.GK, in the same occasion.

Food sources of cholesterol include eggs, shrimp, offal, chicken breast, sirloin steak, and much more. "Cholesterol is only generated by the source of animal protein. Foods that do not contain cholesterol, even if mixed with oil will be saturated fat to be converted into cholesterol," he explained.

Women Heart Disease alert

Status of a man is a risk factor for heart disease. But it turns out the women also can not be dodged opportunities to heart disease, although symptoms of different attacks.

In fact, nearly one third of women who die suddenly do not show specific symptoms as well as in men. As is known in heart attacks, chest pain is the most common symptom. But heart attacks in women usually have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, spinal pain or nausea.

Nevertheless, more than 40 percent of women do not realize that heart disease is the leading killer of women of this. According to research by the American Heart Association, only 1 of 30 women who died in 2007 due to breast cancer. Compare with heart disease that kills 1 in 3 women.

Recent studies revealed that only little effort made health experts to address the gender differences in cardiovascular disease.

"The heart of women is a major threat that could disrupt health. Should all health professionals are also aware of it," says cardiologist at Emory University, Dr.Nanette Wenger.

It's unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol as bad an impact on male or female. However, according to Wenger's research, often the result of the examination and screening can not find any abnormalities in blood vessels of women.

Although the results of cardiac examination showed no blockages in blood vessels but women still face serious problems, ie, coronary microvascular disease, which rarely affects men. This interference occurs because the small blood vessels which provide nutrient supply to the heart was severely damaged so that the pump stops.

If this disease can be detected drugs can make blood vessels relax and blood flow back smoothly. But according to Wenger has yet to know the best therapy to treat the condition.

Another challenge faced by women are diabetes, high blood pressure and other complications during pregnancy increases the risk of heart disease in middle age. Report made Wenger and his team showed a lot of physicians who have not realized it.
