Smoking tobacco may lead to seizures similar to those seen in chest pain based on coronary and aortic disease. The pain in "tobacco heart" is usually more intense and lasts longer than in real angina pectoris, and in most cases it is accompanied by only slight disturbances of cardiac function, or the latter are even completely absent.
