Episode notes
Heart Disease Is Top Killer
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, not cancer as many believe.
- Blockages in heart arteries from cholesterol buildup cause most heart attacks.
Vaping's Hidden Heart Risk
- Vaping exposes users to unregulated, often high levels of nicotine, a vasoconstrictor.
- This constant constriction raises blood pressure and damages arteries, increasing heart disease risk.

- If you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath with exertion relieved by rest, see a healthcare professional.
- These symptoms, called stable angina, are early warning signs of heart disease.
