30-Something Smokers Prone To Heart Attacks Study: Heart
Attack Risk 5 Times Greater In Men Dr. Mike Rosen POSTED: 5:33 pm EDT September
13, 2004 PITTSBURGH -- Most people wouldn’t look at a 35-year-old and
consider him or her a heart attack risk. But new research
shows smokers between 35 and 39 are at a significantly higher
risk for heart attacks than their non-smoking peers. A 25-year-old who lights
up could be looking at being in the cardiac unit 10 years later--brought on
by a risk factor, smoking, that is completely preventable.
“I’ll keep trying until I just finally give it up. Eventually.” It’s
the battle cry of many young smokers: an intent to quit…sometime. But
now, new research out of the World Health Organization shows that young people
between the ages of 35 and 39 who smoke are at a much higher risk
of having a heart attack before the age of 40 than non-smokers. According
to cardiologist Dr. Johnny Lee of the NY Heart Associates, “It’s a landmark trial.
We know that smoking in older people, it causes more
heart attacks but now we at least have a large trial that
establishes that in a young age group if you smoke your risk for
heart attack is 5 fold higher based on this study.” The international study
found the risk of having a heart attack was five times greater for
male smokers between 35 and 39, and almost five and a half times
greater for female smokers in that age group compared to non-smokers. Cholesterol
plaques start to form in the arteries at a very young age, even
as early as the early teenage years. Over time, slowly, that plaque builds,
sometimes accelerated if the person has more than one risk factor for heart disease. “You
add on each risk factor on to a persons profile its not only additive
its multiplicative so if someone is already smoking and they have diabetes then
their risk is not just 2 times its 3 fold 4 fold,” says Dr.
Lee. These are factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and a family history
of heart disease. “This is a very important study to use
as an instrument to get the public awareness of don’t smoke, we
already know that but this is a little bit more scientific to tell
our 20 and 30 yr olds “hey you are at risk
for heart attack and its not just when your age
50 or 60 so absolutely,” Dr. Lee states. It’s a
warning for those who take too casual an attitude about their smoking habit.
Still, experts recommend all individuals should concentrate on sticking to a
low cholesterol diet, watching salt in-take to avoid high blood pressure, and watching
one’s weight because weigh can cause diabetes. Absolutely, one should not smoke, and if it is
a problem, one should try to cut back, and if cutting
back, should try to quit. There are several mechanisms where smoking does damage
to the vessels that feed oxygen to the heart. If those vessels are damaged so much
that blood can’t get through, you can get a heart attack. It’s thought
smoke affects the ability of the blood vessels to open
and close properly. It probably also acts on the cells which
line the blood vessels, called the endothelium. It’s believed smoking acts on
blood clotting as well, especially in people with inherited conditions that cause
people to be more prone to blood clotting. It should be pointed
out that the effects of smoking on heart attack rapidly reverses if
the person quits, and so there is something very practical
a young person can do to prevent having a heart attack prematurely,
and that’s to quit smoking.
