  1. EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CVD AND SMOKING Mini Lecture 1 Module:Effects of Tobacco on the Cardiovascular System

  2. Objectives of the Mini Lecture GOAL OF MINI LECTURE: Provide students with knowledge about the burden of smoking and tobacco use among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students will be able to: • Understand the global burden of CVD and smoking • Discuss the burden of smoking in CVD patients • Describe the association between active and passive smoking and CVD

  5. Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) as a Leading Cause of Global Death • Globally, non-communicable diseases (NCD) accounted for 58% and 62% of deaths in men and women, respectively, in 2004. • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths in 2004: 26.8 million in men and 31.5 million in women. • Two leading causes of death: ischemic heart disease (12.2% of all deaths) and cerebrovascular disease (9.7%). • Both diseases were the leading causes of death globally, in middle- and high-income countries. • In low income countries, ischemic heart disease was 2nd cause of death (9%) and cerebrovascular disease was 5th (6%). World Health Organization 2008

  6. Smoking-attributable Deaths:The Global Context • In 2030, smoking will account for 10% of global deaths. • Between 2002 and 2030, tobacco-related deaths are projected to: • Decrease by 9% in high-income countries. • Double in low-and middle-income countries (from 3.4 million to 6.8 million). • Leading causes of tobacco-attributable deaths are: cancer (33%), cardiovascular diseases (29%), and chronic respiratory diseases (29%).

  7. Smoking-attributable Deathsin the Asia-Pacific Region • Smoking contributes to 30% of cardiovascular deaths in Pacific and South-East Asia regions.1 • Smoking causes: • 10–33% of heart diseases among men (10% in Australia and 33% in Kiribati). • 3–12% of hemorrhagic stroke among men (3% in Australia and Palau, and 12% in Kiribati). • 8–27% of ischemic stroke among men (8% in Australia and 27% in Kiribati). 1. Martiniuk et al., 2006

  8. Mortality from CVD in India • CVD accounted for 29% of all deaths in India in 2005.1 • Nearly 10 million deaths are predicted to occur in the year 2015; CVD will account for one third of these deaths.2 • CVD death toll is projected to rise from 3 million in 2000 to 4.8 million in 2020, and will account for 42% of total deaths. • Between 2000 and 2020, about 35% deaths will occur among 35-64 year olds, mostly attributable to tobacco use.3 • Reddy 2007; 2. Indrayan et al. 2008; 3. Reddy and Gupta 2004

  9. Smoking as a CVD Risk Factor • Smoking is an established risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases such as: peripheral vascular disease (PVD), aortic aneurysm, coronary heart disease (CHD), and cerebrovascular disease (stroke).1 • 12% of deaths in China were attributable to smoking (22% to respiratory disease, 16% to neoplastic disease, and 9% to vascular disease).2 • 30% of cardiovascular deaths in the Pacific and Southeast Asia regions are attributable to smoking. 1. World Health Organization 2002; 2. Niu et al. 1998

  10. Smoking AttributableCVD Deaths in India India • Smoking causes a large and growing number of premature deaths.1 • Overall, smoking in India accounts for 20% of deaths from stroke and 24% of deaths from cardiac and other vascular diseases.2 1. Jha et al. 2008; 2. Gajalakshmi et al. 2003 http://www.bloodpressurenormalized.com/images/blood_circulation.jpg

  11. Cost-effectiveness of Smoking Cessation for CVD Prevention • Compared to other CVD prevention strategies (such as lowering blood pressure, blood glucose, LDL cholesterol, BMI), smoking cessation is the most cost-effective intervention for CVD prevention. Kahn et al. 2008

  12. Cardiovascular Risks of Secondhand Smoke • Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure in the home and workplace increases the risk of coronary heart disease among nonsmokers by 25%-30% among both men and women.1 • A significant dose-response relationship exists between intensity and duration of exposure to SHS and CVD risks: • Risk increases sharply with low doses of SHS (< 5 cigs/day). • Risk increases more slowly and linearly with higher level of exposure (5-20 cigs/day).2 1. He et al. 1999; 2. Pechacek et al. 2004

  14. Constituents of Cigarette Smokethat Contribute to CVD Main contributors: • Nicotine • Carbon monoxide • Oxidant (chemical) gases: oxides of nitrogen and free-radicals Other contributors promote atherogenesis: • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons • Other constituents Benowitz 2003

  15. Smoking and Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) • A current smoker has a 3x higher risk of experiencing non-fatal MI compared with a never smoker. • Dose response relationship between number of cigarettes smoked per day and risk of AMI is independent of age. • The risk of AMI increases even with low levels of smoking. • Risk increases by 5.6% for every additional cigarette smoked. Teo et al. 2006

  16. Factors Associatedwith Risk of AMI • Young smokers are at higher risk of AMI compared to older smokers • Higher prevalence of smoking • Higher numbers of cigarettes smoked per day • Risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) from: • Smoking beedies: 2.89 • Chewing tobacco: 2.23 • Smoking and chewing: 4.09 • Low doses of exposure (1–7 hour/week)=1.24 • High doses of exposure (>21 hour/week)=1.62 Teo et al. 2006

  17. The most important health message a doctor can give to patients is to quit smoking.
