Abstract
There were conflicting results regarding clinical studies of effect of smoking on the coronary
angiographic findings, the aim of theses study was to study the effect of on angiographic results in
patients with history of coronary artery disease submitted to routine coronary angiography.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that as many as 30% of all coronary
heart disease deaths may be attributed to cigarette smoking Although smoking increases both the risk
of developing coronary disease and the risk of coronary events in patients with known coronary
atherosclerosis, the effect of smoking on the evolution of coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by
serial angiography is poorly defined

particularly large impact in the developing world and annually accounts for 1.17 million deaths
worldwide. Even among nonsmokers, inhaled smoke, whether from passive exposure or from cigar
or pipe consumption, increases coronary risk
