Smoking cessation aftermath: What next after smoking cessation?
There is no doubt that up on quitting smoking health improvement takes place almost immediately and for sure people who quit cigarette smoking at whatever age or stage of life are expected to feel significant and remarkable benefits within a few minutes, hours, days and weeks from their last puff of cigarette. However, it is equally important to note that even though the benefits will be realized almost immediately, the effects of smoking can still be felt even after one year of smoking cessation. Doctor Dalal Akoury (MD) and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, says that, with smoking the vein health may still not return to normalcy thereby increasing the possibility of a failed heart bypass surgery and that is why we want to focus our discussion on the smoking cessation aftermath after recovery.
Smoking cessation aftermath: Coronary artery bypass
It will interest you to note that according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is the most common type of open-heart surgery performed globally. Professionally this is primarily done to patients who have severe heart problems, or those whose major arteries have been blocked and damaged making them susceptible to heart problems. This procedure involves connecting (or grafting) a blocked artery to a healthy one so the blood can bypass the damaged artery and flow freely through the other one. Success rates of coronary artery bypass goes beyond grafting surgery which are considered high among non-smokers.
Experts are working round the clock to reduce the smoking cession aftermath especially after recovery and according to a study published in the journal The Annals of Thoracic Surgery it was established that the damage caused by tobacco use to the veins may not be fully reversed even after one full year of smoking cessation. This means that smoking has very long term effect on your health that even after quitting you will still be at certain risk according to the study. Remember that, heart disease is the number one killer in the world and it is strongly facilitated by smoking and the nicotine in the tobacco smoke. Along with improper diet, obesity, high cholesterol and inactivity, smoking is still a major risk factor for cardiovascular problems.
From the discussion so far it is becoming clear that even though quitting smoking is the best thing to do because of the benefit attached, it is equally important to appreciate the fact that it will take some time before the other damages can be reversed completely. Doctor Dalal Akoury is reaffirming that since no one really knows when he or she will be in need of coronary artery bypass surgery; the best approach to this problem/habit is to stop immediately and preferably in your youthful age. For better understanding of the magnitude of this problem, we are going to consider the following smoking risks on other medical procedures as follows in our subsequent blogs:
- Smoking poses health risks to any kind of surgery
- Smoking increases risk after colorectal procedures
- Smoking makes cancer treatments less effective
- Smoking impacts the body even during less invasive surgeries
- Continuing to smoke after surgery causes serious complications.
In the meantime, if you have any concern you would want to be addressed professionally, you can always schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today for a one on one professional involvement.
