STUDY: SMOKERS WHO QUIT AFTER BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY LIVE LONGER

Reuters (8/2, Hackethal) reports a new study found that smokers who quit following a balloon angioplasty live about two years longer than those who keep smoking. According to Ron van Domburg, the senior author of the paper and a clinical epidemiologist at Rotterdam’s Erasmus Medical Center, the message of the study is that quitting, no matter at what age, can help. The findings were published in the American Journal of Cardiology.
