Smoking increases risk of heart attack

Smoking reduces the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Many smokers are actually in a state of "hypoxia" for a long time. In this case, these changes will occur in your blood vessels and heart:

Damages blood vessel walls, aggravates atherosclerotic plaques, weakens blood vessel elasticity, and causes greater damage to small arteries;

Affects blood lipids, lowering good cholesterol and increasing bad cholesterol.

It increases blood pressure, speeds up heart rate, and puts more pressure on the heart.

These changes contribute greatly to the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

The direct cause of myocardial infarction is: rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, causing thrombosis and leading to myocardial infarction.

Smoking can directly aggravate atherosclerosis. It can also lead to abnormal blood lipids, making atherosclerotic plaques larger. It can also affect the stability of blood vessel walls, making plaques more likely to rupture.
