Harmful Impact of Tobacco Smoking and Alcohol Consumption on the Atrial Myocardium

Abstract: Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are widespread exposures that are legal and socially accepted in many societies. Both have been widely recognized as important risk factors for diseases in all vital organ systems including cardiovascular diseases, and with clinical manifestations that are associated with atrial dysfunction, so-called atrial cardiomyopathy, especially atrial fibrillation and stroke. The pathogenesis of atrial cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and stroke in context with smoking and alc… Show more

“…However, recent studies suggest that no level of alcohol consumption is safe in humans. These studies show that even moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with ROS generation, hypertension, stroke, vascular alterations in the peripheral and central nervous systems, cognitive decline, and more (Gill et al, 1986;Roerecke et al, 2017;Cho et al, 2022;Ohlrogge et al, 2022;Topiwala et al, 2022).…”

“…In high-middle SDI and above regions, such as Southern Latin America and Australasia, alcohol consumption is particularly prevalent, which could be associated with local cultural customs. Alcohol can cause myocardial fibroplasia and exacerbate myocardial hypertrophy [ 43 ],; therefore implementing certain alcohol interventions can potentially reduce the disease burden caused by hypertension or HHD [ 44 ]. Interestingly, low temperature is suggested to be a risk factor for HHD, with an increase in death and DALYs associated with cold-related HHD in middle and high SDI countries, possibly related to economic development.…”

“…In other words, chronic stress can trigger problems with the blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain (stroke). Smoking also has a very close relationship with the risk of stroke [38]. This habit can increase the risk of stroke by up to two times by raising blood pressure and reducing oxygen in the blood.…”

“…Because when someone smokes, the chemicals in cigarettes (carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, arsenic, and cyanide) enter the lungs and are transferred into the bloodstream [39]. Blood containing these chemicals then flows throughout the body, changing and damaging its cells and affecting how people's bodies work [38]. These changes can then increase the risk of stroke.…”
