Smoking and blood pressure: A complex relationship.
Abstract Hypertension and tobacco smoking are two major modifiable risk factors for atheromatous disease and its cardiovascular complications. If systolic hypertension (SBP≥140mmHg and DBP<90mmHg) is the leading risk factor for stroke, smoking (nicotine) has a more powerful impact on coronary events, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease. Smoking can transiently modify the regulation of blood pressure (BP) by a swift effect on the autonomic nervous system. It also accelerates arterial aging, which plays a role in chronic hypertension. Chronic sympathetic activation induced by tobacco smoking also ha...
