Your circulatory system is a network of not only one system but three systems working together:
Cardiovascular (heart)
Pulmonary (lungs)
Systemic (arteries, veins, coronary, and portal vessels)
Smoking greatly increases your risk of atherosclerosis. This occurs when plaque builds up on the walls of your arteries and blocks blood flow, sometimes called “hardening of the arteries”.
Valves are like doors between the chambers of the heart. When they function properly, they operate smoothly while opening and closing.
Some circulatory system problems have no symptoms. This is why it’s important to visit with your primary care doctor annually.
