Mothers who smoke or are often exposed to cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy can cause the baby’s blood pressure becomes abnormal. Abnormal blood pressure cause of sudden infant death.
The research team found exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy can cause the baby’s blood pressure becomes abnormal even until the child grew up.
Abnormal blood pressure makes the heart to pump faster and harder. Studies have shown damage to the circulation may be a risk factor in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
When babies are frequently exposed to smoke are examined, suggesting an abnormality in heart rate and blood pressure. This situation worsened during the first year of life.
“Usually when someone is standing heart rate increases and blood vessels tighten. In infants of mothers who smoke, the problem occurs continuously from birth until the first 1 year and get worse from time to time.”
For a while people are aware of any cardiovascular effects in cases of sudden infant death. And this probably explains why this could happen. Exposed to smoke early in life to make blood pressure control mechanisms disrupted.
“His influence not only on your breathing babies, but also the control of blood pressure and heart rate”
“The results of this study is reasonable. Sudden infant deaths could be avoided by not let anyone smoke in the same room with the baby. In addition a third of sudden infant deaths could be avoided if the mother did not smoke during pregnancy”
