Electronic cigarettes provoke arrhythmia

1

E-cigarettes can cause fatal heart rhythm disturbances. And just like regular tobacco products.

Research has shown that vaping can damage the heart to the same extent as traditional tobacco products.

Effects of vapor from electronic cigarettes in laboratory mice led to arrhythmia, which was characterized by premature or prolonged contractions of the heart.

Arrhythmia can lead to life-threatening complications, including strokes, blood clots and even cardiac arrest in severe cases.

In those exposed. vapor from e-cigarettes in rodents immediately after the experiment, the heart rate decreased sharply, and then also sharply increased.

However, this was noted only when using specific chemical components contained in fruit and menthol-flavored cigarettes, which recruit all more popular among the youngest vaping users.

Regular cigarettes have already been shown to cause a reduction in heart rate about 20 minutes after smoking. Over time, this rate increases.

Scientists from the University of Louisville have demonstrated that short-term exposure to electronic cigarettes can destabilize the heart rhythm due to certain chemical components in the liquids.
