On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines (Part 2): An Edan SE-601A 6-Channel ECG Product Review

As for the second part of this new article series entitled On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here all about the risks and dangers of smoking and how it affects our heart.

Cigarette smoke not only affects smokers. When you smoke, the people around you are also at risk for developing health problems, especially children. Environmental tobacco smoke (also called passive smoke or secondhand smoke) affects people who are frequently around smokers. Secondhand smoke can cause chronic respiratory conditions, cancer, and heart disease. It is estimated that around 35,000 nonsmokers die from heart disease each year as a result of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.

How Does Smoking Increase Heart Disease Risk?

The nicotine present in smoke causes heart disease by:

• Decreasing oxygen to the heart.
• Increasing blood pressure and heart rate.
• Increasing blood clotting.
• Damaging to cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels.
