Structure of right ventricular systole in male smokers
Relatively late complications resulting from long-term smoking are well known, both from the lungs (chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer) and the cardiovascular system (atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, etc.). We studied right ventricular contractility in young smokers. We observed 33 smokers aged 18 to 30 years and 35 age-matched healthy nonsmokers. All 68 subjects underwent complete clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination in a therapeutic clinic.
