Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: Nicotine stimulates the adrenal glands to release adrenaline, which increases heart rate and blood pressure. Inflammation and Plaque Buildup: Smoking damages the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels), triggering inflammation.

Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease Peripheral artery disease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins can help control blood pressure, cholesterol levels and weight.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Persistent high blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD, which involves the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, can reduce blood flow to the heart.

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

PAD is a serious, progressive cardiovascular disease primarily caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the blood vessels, or atherosclerosis. This plaque narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, which may significantly impair physical function, walking performance and quality of life.

Infections and inflammation of the heart eg myocarditis will cause acute inflammation of the heart and therefore may compromise the pumping ability of the heart Conditions such as high blood pressure will make the heart work harder and as it does so it will become more muscular. The plaques can damage us in 2 ways.

In the study, post-menopausal women underwent heart scans to assess their CAC score, a measure of plaque buildup—fat, calcium and other substances—in the heart’s arteries. This affects the way your body stores fat, where it stores fat and the way it processes fat; it even affects the way your blood clots.
