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!
