a warning for the worlds leading preventable cause of death – Explica

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide, still accounting for 6 million deaths per year. In the American population, approximately 20% of deaths from cardiovascular disease are related to smoking.

Smokers are at increased risk of heart attack, stroke, sudden cardiac death and ischemic heart disease. This is because the cigarette has more than 7 thousand chemical substances that, through mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, increased thrombosis, heart rate and arrhythmias, contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

The benefit of smoking cessation is perceived by the body in a matter of hours, with the risk of coronary heart disease halving after one year, reaching the level of nonsmokers in 15 years.

On World No Tobacco Day (31.05), the Paranaense Society of Cardiology (SPC) emphasizes that the decrease in smoking is not associated with the reduction of tobacco-related diseases, but only cessation contributes to the reduction of mortality, regardless of age , explains the entitys president, Dr. Raul DAurea Mora.

About SPC Founded in 1966, SPC disseminates Cardiology throughout the State, and held its first scientific event in 1971. The entity centralizes the efforts of cardiologists from Paran and interacts with civil society and the powers constituted in a search for the optimization of efforts to reduce the impact of cardiovascular diseases on society.
