Active smokers are very susceptible to cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability around the world is also the most popular killer after a traffic accident.
"The fact of the WHO said that there was one death from cardiovascular disease every two seconds, every five seconds a heart attack and a stroke every six seconds," said the Professor of the University in one of the Southeast Asian country.
He said, every year an estimated 17 million people in various countries die from cardiovascular disease. The occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (aterosklorosis) is not only triggered by the consumption of high fat foods, but also triggered by smoking.
When people smoke, the more oxidant substances regardless of the response due to the entry of toxins from cigarettes smoked. Oxidant substance that makes the blood vessel wall is damaged and make low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL).
LDL more easily "caught" in the area of the damage caused by the oxidant substances. "Then the cholesterol that is" stuck "is growing and cause blockages so that the blood vessels become hardened and there aterosklorosis," said the Professor, who studied the Toxicological Sciences.
According to him, atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arterial walls of fat meadow etymologically derived from the Greek word meaning ather porridge. Understanding the form of porridge here bleary-eyed fat deposits that resemble soft like porridge.
In addition, the Greek scleros significant other hard, so quite literally, a substance that was originally buried in the soft and mushy and the amount accumulated in an arena which led to the formation of lesions over time will enlarge and thicken thus narrowing the arteries and block blood flow.
Resulting in the hardening and clogging of blood flow in blood vessels. "The blood vessels which become a means of transport corridors flowing substance metabolic process would be very dangerous if blocked," he concluded.
