“…It is well known that the risk of coronary heart disease decreases more than 50% after stopping smoking [19]. In a previous study in Turkey, 15.6% of the participants (26.9% men and 9.4% women) were found to be smokers [20].…”

AbstractHypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, obesity and smoking are known to be the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Because the elderly population has been increasing globally, CVD may become a more important public health problem in the future. This report examines the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly in Ankara, Turkey. This was a cross-sectional survey and included a total of 2720 individuals living in the Ankara district. Trained research staff administered a standard questionnaire in the participants’ homes and worksites. The questionnaire collected information on clinical and demographic characteristics and a self-reported medical history, including past history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, coronary artery by-pass graft operation, and cerebrovascular accident. The mean age of the study participants was 69.5 ± 7.2 years. The study identified 1298 women (78.1%) and 753 men (71.2%) with hypertension, and the overall prevalence of hypertension was 75.4%. A total of 739 (27.2%) people had diabetes mellitus, and, of these people, 603 (81.6%) were hypertensive. A total of 1361 people had hyperlipidemia, and 1103 of these patients were also hypertensive. The overall prevalence of obesity was 27.2%. A total of 553 (20.3%) people were smokers. Our findings indicate that cardiovascular risk factors are very common in the elderly. To maximize risk reduction, physicians must take aggressive measures to decrease cardiovascular risk factors.

Background: Cigarette smoking is one of the strong contributors to the risk of development of cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, stroke, sudden death, peripheral artery disease & aortic aneurysm. Objective: To assess HRV by time domain methods in healthy cigarette smokers. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka from July 2011 to June 2012. 120 apparently healthy male current regular cigarette smokers (Group B) aged 20-55 years were enrolled in the study group.70 apparently healthy male non smoker subjects (Group A) were taken as control. Time domain measures of HRV were recorded by a RMS digital Polyrite. Statistical analysis was done by independent sample t test. Results: Resting Pulse, SBP, DBP, Mean heart rate was significantly higher (p<0.001) and Mean R-R interval, SDNN, RMSSD were significantly lower (p<0.001) in all smokers compared to control. Conclusion: Generalized reduced HRV & attenuated cardiac vagal modulation occur in apparently healthy cigarette smokers.

“…Cigarette smoking is well-recognized as an etiology for many diseases and is considered to be one of the risk factors for arteriosclerosis (1). In atheromatous plaque formation, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) migrate from the tunica media toward the tunica intima where they proliferate and undergo phenotypic changes (2).…”

Abstract. Cigarette smoking is one of the factors causing accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques. Changes in cell migration toward platelet-derived growth factor BB were investigated using a Boyden chamber after 48-h preincubation of GBaSM-4 VSMCs with nicotine or nicotine-free cigarette smoke extract (CSE). A nicotine concentration of 0.1 μM maximally promoted cell migration; 0.1% CSE also promoted cell migration, while high CSE concentrations damaged GBaSM-4 cells. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) long-depletion induced decrease in migration of GBaSM-4 cells. Our results suggest that nicotine and some CSE components can induce GBaSM-4 cell migration.
