Nicotine should increase the heart rate, as it stimulates the release of adrenalin and noradrenalin, a chemical very similar to adrenalin. Not sure if it can also decrease the heart rate.

Why does a fit persons heart beat slower than an unfit persons heart?

Because an active, physically fit person gnerally has a heart that does not have to work as hard (slower) as someone who is not in as good a shape and the heart has to pump, or work, harder to get the blood circulating. probably thelungs are in much better shape in the physically fit person and since the lungs and the heart interact, the lungs help the heart not work as hard.


What happens to the heart when an artery gets smaller?

You did not specify which artery. If it is one supplying the heart, it will affect the heart's efficiency. If it becomes completely clogged, part of the heart muscle will die unless the blockage is relieved. If it is an artery to a limb or organ, the heart will have to work harder, and the amount of blood it can push through the artery will slowly become lessened. Eventually, there will be problems at the other end, and perhaps with the heart as well.

What can smoking do to your heart?

Yes, smoking does affect the heart. As you should know, the heart itself is a muscle. Muscles are wonderful tissues but they are also most prone to wear and tare and poisons. Arsenic, Carbon Monoxide, and the many other chemicals in cigarettes cause macrocardia (enlargement of the heart). Since nicotine acts as a vasoconstrictor it makes the blood vessels smaller making the blood pressure rise. Lastly, smoking cause damage to the pericardium (the sack which the heart resides in) that causes edema (fluid build up/swelling)

Can smoking a cigarette cause the heart to turn black?

Yes, it can! Smoking increases the risk of heart disease as it damages the main functions of cardiovascular system: vessels functioning, proper blood flow, and the powerful pumping of the heart. - Nicotine damages the lining of the arteries leading to their narrowing. Narrowed arteries can cause angina, a heart attack or a stroke. - The carbon monoxide contained in tobacco smoke reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood making the heart to pump harder to supply the body with the oxygen it needs. - The nicotine in cigarettes stimulates the body to produce adrenaline, which makes your heart beat faster and raises your blood pressure, also making the heart work harder.

What effect does nicotine have on you?

Nicotine causes a short period of well-being and a slight increase in energy. Its time of action is very short, which is why people who are addicted have to smoke cigarette after cigarette. Nicotine also causes constriction of the blood vessels. This causes the heart to work harder, the blood pressure to rise and various other problems. Constriction and reduction of blood flow to the outer layers of the skin is why women who smoke heavily have the complexion of an old lady when they are 40.
