HOW SMOKING HARMS
THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

24.  The risk for CAD among smokers is dose related &
smoking as little as one to four cigarettes per day
significantly increases risk.
 Smokers also have a higher risk of recurrent ischemia
after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and of re-
occlusion after an acute myocardial infarction

25.  For those smokers with diagnosed CHD, stopping
smoking appears to reduce the risk of recurrent
infarction and cardiovascular death by 50% or
more.
 Smoking cessation should be viewed as
therapeutic rather than preventive intervention.

28. The American Heart Association
Smoking has a multiplicative interaction with the major risk
factors for coronary artery disease, to increase disease
risk.
For example,if the presence of smoking alone doubles the
level of risk for CAD, the presence of another major risk
factor in conjunction with smoking results in approximately
a 4-fold increase in risk .
The presence of 2 other risk factors together with
smoking results in approximately an 8-fold increase in risk.

to SHS can trigger heart attacks.

patients with heart disease should avoid
exposure to secondhand smoke.
