LifeStyle Health Updates: Smoking is generally recognised to result in clogged arteries, which can cause coronary heart disease and stroke. On Thursday, a new study issued a warning that smoking can potentially cause fatter, weaker hearts. The more smokers smoked, the worse their heart function got, according to the study. People who broke the habit were able to perform some tasks again.

It implies that smokers have less blood in their left heart chamber and less ability to pump it to their other organs. As you smoke more, your heart's performance declines. It is never too late to stop smoking, according to the study's lead author, Dr. Eva Holt of Copenhagen, Denmark's Herlev and Gentofte Hospital. Dr. Holt concluded in a report presented at the ESC Congress 2022 that it is never too late to stop smoking because doing so can help the heart recover to some extent.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco use kills more than eight million people annually.

Half of all smokers' unnecessary deaths are caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular illnesses, such as heart attack and stroke, which account for 50% of all smoking-related deaths.  It is generally known that smoking has a negative impact on arteries and causes arterial disorders like heart attacks and strokes.

The current study investigated the impact of quitting smoking as well as whether smoking was linked to alterations in the structure and function of the heart in individuals without cardiovascular disease. 3,874 participants with no history of heart disease, ranging in age from 20 to 99, had their data analysed for the study.
