What are the acute effects of passive smoking on the coronary circulation in healthy young adults?
According to the study conducted by Otsuka et al. (2001), the acute effects of passive smoking on the coronary circulation in healthy young adults include increased heart rate, increased myocardial oxygen demand, increased myocardial contractility, and increased vasoconstriction. These changes can lead to an increased risk of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and other cardiovascular complications.
