Smoking increasing the risk of stroke? |
so I know that smoking doubles the risk of having a stroke but is that mainly because it increases your blood pressure or what? It make your blood more hypercoagulable, that is, it makes it more likely to coagulate and and throw off emboli, and "plug up" your circulation. A lack of blood flow to the brain due to the clots results in stroke. (That's not the only mechanism of stroke.) Also, smoking affects the circulation, making your vessels less robust. Instead of healthy pipes, smoking makes your circulation is a lot more thready and brittle, so even more susceptible to obstruction by clotting. The increase in blood pressure of hypertension may contribute to wear-and-tear on the circulation. Yes, decreases the diameter of the veins and arteries and runs up the blood pressure, in addition to poisoning the heart and organs. Its because it blocks up your arteries with fatty deposits putting you at risk from heart attack and strokes xxxx |
