After being treated a few days, my friend eventually died of a heart attack for the second time. Deceased died at the age that has not so old to measure life expectancy now.
One year ago, the deceased also had experienced a heart attack. After undergoing a long treatment condition was improving. I do not know if after a first heart attack, the decease's medication regularly or not. And, what I see is, before the late hospitalized again, his lifestyle has not changed much.
At the time of first heart attack, while being treated, some times I see him. Still fresh in my memory of the late promise to change his lifestyle, and most importantly when it is to not smoke anymore.
Smoking is a habit of late, which I knew from college students. It is probable that 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 habits of the late recurrence.
Several times I was reminded that the habit was stopped, but the deceased did not seem to care. Maybe because it was felt healthy and as if there is no problem anymore with the heart, or indeed opium smoking was re-mastered his mind. I remember also that time of the late comment, "if it wanted to die, until such 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, humans must strive for the best. Trying to quit smoking in my opinion is the effort required, especially when it's obvious there is a disease resulting from it.
Several studies have shown that if a person smoking before age 20 years, life expectancy will be reduced 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 prevented. Unfortunately, a smoker is 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 death due to heart.
Unfortunately, most people find cigarettes affects only the lung disease, like cancer. Indeed, the main cause of lung cancer is smoking, but smoking is also a major risk factor for heart disease. Coronary heart disease, as the main cause of death from heart disease, culprit is cigarette.
Cigarettes are responsible for one out of every five deaths in America. About 40% of deaths due to heart caused by smoking. Compared with non-smokers, you have two times greater risk of dying of heart attacks, and five times more likely to die of sudden cardiac death.
And, if you smoke, then you also have other risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, hiperlipidemi, then you risk to die because the heart will increase much several times.
Rooms with hundreds of chemical constituents in them can cause structural damage to the heart muscle, heart and blood vessels. Do not be talking 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 blood pressure 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 monoxide, this oxygen demand so unfulfilled, even the more heart muscle damage. This can spur heart attacks.
Carbon monoxide can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and blood viscosity. Carbon monoxide moving with the flow of blood causes irritation, inflammation of the walls of 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 URLs of the blood vessels as a small pipe that rusted in it. Rust-rust was becoming more and more and accumulate, to close the pipe hole. If the rust is totally closed, the flow of blood to the heart muscle will stop.
Cigarettes are the leading cause of death by 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 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 to quit smoking, you can surely .... Hopefully!
