The researchers said in a presentation during the meeting that the study was comparable to the benefits that patients receive from taking low-density lipoprotein (LDL) drugs.
Statistics show that adults 45 years of age or older who are still smoking at least six months after having a heart attack, stent implant or bypass surgery, if they have this habit Give up. It is possible to increase their age by 5 years.
Researchers, meanwhile, say that in addition to quitting smoking, taking anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) in the body can increase a patient's lifespan.
