“…Some small studies indicate that benefits from smoking cessation may occur as early as 1 year after acute coronary syndrome presentation, but they do not have enough data to evaluate whether such short-term benefits are observed in apparently healthy people [22]. In our study we demonstrated that smoking cessation improves clot properties, which may provide an additional reason for smokers to cease smoking.…”

To examine the associations between cigarette smoking and preferable clot properties. Plasma fibrin clots from 21 randomly selected current smokers (n = 7), former smokers (n = 7) and non-smokers (n = 7) were analyzed, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With the use of the turbidimetric clotting and lysis assay in plasma, the maximum absorbance (MaxAbs(C), MaxAbs(L)) was measured and lysis time (Lys(50%)) was calculated. Smoking cessation significantly influenced fibrin fiber branching and density. Median fiber diameter was not changed. Lys(50%) was the highest in current smokers and was reduced in former smokers to the non-smoker level (2120 ± 385 versus 1771 ± 122 and 1724 ± 272 s; P = 0.04). Smoking cessation improves fibrin clot architecture which results in the lesser resistance to lysis.

“…However, some degree of measurement error may still be present and would thus result in residual confounding (Skuladottir et al, 2004). We suggest that better modelling and use of biomarkers (such as cotinine) should be used in future studies, to better assess smoke exposure (Twardella et al, 2004). Second, consumers of F&V may quit smoking more often or more rapidly than non-consumers.…”

Association between the frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption and cardiovascular disease in male smokers and non-smokers

Background/Objectives: Consumption of fruit and vegetables (F&V) is associated with a lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Smoking may affect the strength of this association. The objective of this study was to compare the relationship between the frequency of F&V intake and CVD risk in male current, former and never smokers. Subjects/Methods: A prospective study in men (n ¼ 8060) aged 50-59 years who were recruited in France and Northern Ireland. The frequency of F&V intake was assessed by using a food frequency questionnaire. The outcome criteria were incident cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and total CVD (coronary heart disease and stroke) over 10-year period. Results: A total of 367 ACS and 612 CVD events occurred during the follow-up period. A multivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant interaction between smoking status and F&V intake for ACS and for CVD (both P'so0.05). In current smokers, the relative risks for ACS were 0.78 (0.54-1.13) and 0.49 (0.30-0.81) in the second and third tertiles of F&V intake, respectively (P for trendo0.001); for CVD, the values were 0.80 (0.59-1.08) and 0.64 (0.44-0.93) respectively (P for trendo0.001). In contrast, no statistically significant associations were observed for never and former smokers. Similar statistical interactions for ACS were observed for fruit intake (P ¼ 0.07) and vegetable intake (Po0.05) taken separately. Conclusions: These results suggest that high fruit and vegetable intake is associated with a lower risk of CVD in male smokers.

“…More recent data reinforce the findings of previous research. Current studies show that smoking cessation in patients with CVD reduced the rate of recurrent CVD events by 40%, after 1-year follow-up, 12 and the mortality rate due to recurrent CVD events by 17%, after 20-year follow-up. 13 In the United States, pioneering studies 14 -18 have examined smoking cessation in patients who were already diagnosed with CVD.…”

Short-term benefit of smoking cessation in patients with coronary heart disease: estimates based on self-reported smoking data and serum cotinine measurements

Abstract: The benefits of non-smoking and smoking cessation in cardiac patients are beyond controversy and might even be larger than suggested by previous studies which exclusively relied on self-reported smoking status.
