Smoking Cessation Leads to Happy Hearts?
Smoking raises blood pressure levels and puts stress on the heart. The heart has to work harder to get oxygen to vital organs of smokers. An overworked heart can lead to a heart attack. Smoking also makes your blood sticky which can lead to blood clots and stroke. Quitting smoking reduces blood pressure and heart rate immediately and within 24 hours the risk of a heart attack also decreases. Smoking cessation leads to an unsticking of the blood and reduces the risk of blood clots and stroke.

Is clopidogrel an anticoagulant?
yes..Heparin is indeed an anticoagulant. It disallows the formation of new clots and stops the progression of already formed clots (it can't decrease the size of these already formed clots though). So being a medication that alters the clotting ability of blood, it is considered an anticoagulant.Also, calling it a, "blood thinner" is a misnomer since it does not actually "thin" the blood.Heparin is indeed an anticoagulant.

What does smoking do to you cardiovascular system?
It can clog up your valves and arteries. The immediate effect is that smoking constricts the blood vessels; it tightens them up, makes them smaller. This means the blood vessels in and around the heart are less efficient and more likely to stop clots.
