Increased Blood Clot Risk: Smoking enhances the bloods clotting tendency, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes. These factors contribute to a host of cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, making smokers significantly more vulnerable to heart-related illnesses.

Because the patient was exercising, which increases sympathetic tone, facilitating AV conduction. Why did today's patient develop AFlutter while exercising on a treadmill? Is longterm endurance-training a risk factor for AFib and AFlutter? == Why is Today's Initial Rhythm AFlutter? Why such rapid AV conduction?

It encompasses a range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrhythmias. While lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise and smoking play a significant role in the development of heart disease, genetics also contribute substantially. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide.

Given that some individuals with heart disease may not exhibit any symptoms, it's always a good idea to discuss your risk factors with your doctor and get regular checkups.

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

How much exercise is too much exercise? While this hasn’t been firmly established, we have data that endurance athletes who perform high levels of exercise (10–15 or more hours per week for 20+ years) have more heart arrhythmias and evidence of coronary artery calcification compared to less-active people.
