Mr. Hu from Shandong Mo Yan hometown of Gaomi, business trip to Mianyang, sudden syncope was sent to Mianyang City Central Hospital, after an emergency diagnosis of severe stenosis of the left subclavian artery, blood theft syndrome. Don’t look at him this year only 43 years old, but his smoking age has been 30 years. After CTA angiography, the vascular surgeon found that his vascular calcification is very serious, the whole body has many arteriosclerosis plaque formation, combined with his past history of cerebral infarction, must be corrected for the left subclavian artery stenosis, we did a minimally invasive intervention, vascular recanalization stent implantation, the operation was very smooth, the symptoms of blood-stolen blood completely relieved. When he was discharged from the hospital, Mr. Hu smiled and said to Dr. Jiang, who performed the surgery on him, “Thank you! I should quit smoking for good, and I also advise those who are still smoking to quit smoking as soon as possible. Left subclavian artery severe stenosis stent implantation to open the blood vessel turn: long-term smokers atherosclerosis rate doubled, core tip: Japanese researchers found that long-term smokers atherosclerosis rate is about double that of non-smokers, and severe atherosclerosis will also form arterial blockage, which can lead to heart disease, stroke and other diseases. This will allow people to more clearly realize that smoking triggers cardiovascular disease the real reason Japanese researchers found that long-term smokers atherosclerosis is about twice the rate of non-smokers, and serious atherosclerosis will also form arterial blockage, which in turn triggered heart disease, stroke and other diseases. This will shed more light on the real causes of cardiovascular disease caused by smoking. Researchers at Tokyo Medical University looked at the time it takes for blood to flow from the heart to the brachial artery, the main blood vessel in the upper arm, and the ankle by measuring arm and ankle pulse beat speeds, and found that blood runs slower through hardened arteries. The researchers observed more than 2,000 Japanese adults for five or six years and found that smokers had significantly faster hardening of the arteries than non-smokers, and that the rate of hardening of the arteries was directly proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked and the age of the cigarettes smoked. Dr. David K. Walker, associate professor of cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, believes that this finding could help to improve the quality of life of smokers. According to Dr. Walker, this finding will help medical practitioners work harder to discourage smokers from quitting early, as the study shows that the damage of smoking is cumulative, which makes those who have been smoking for years without any health problems under the pretext of a fluke to re-examine the dangers of smoking. At the same time, experts say that quitting smoking in time may lead to the healing of this damage.
