Abstract

This study sought to examine whether passive smoking is associated with endothelial dysfunction in the coronary arteries. Long-term exposure to cigarette smoking has been reported to suppress endothelium-dependent arterial dilation in humans. Endothelial dysfunction is an early feature of atherogenesis, and the impairment of acetylcholine (ACh)-induced coronary artery dilation indicates coronary endothelial dysfunction. We studied 38 women (40 to 60 years old) who had no known risk factors for coronary artery disease other than tobacco smoking: 11 nonsmokers who had never smoked and had never been regularly exposed to environmental tobacco smoke; 19 passive smokers with self-reported histories of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke of > or = 1 h/day for > or = 10 years; and 8 active smokers. We examined the response of the epicardial coronary artery diameters (proximal and distal segments of the left anterior descending [LAD] and left circumflex [LCx] coronary arteries) to the intracoronary injection of ACh into the left coronary artery by means of quantitative coronary angiography. ACh significantly dilated the distal segment in nonsmokers (percent change from baseline diameter: LAD 13.7+/-3.4%, p < 0.05; LCx 18.8+/-2.9%, ...Continue Reading
