Inhalation of printer-emitted particles impairs cardiac conduction, hemodynamics, and autonomic regulation and induces arrhythmia and electrical remodeling in rats
Abstract
Using engineered nanomaterial-based toners, laser printers generate aerosols with alarming levels of nanoparticles that bear high bioactivity and potential health risks. Yet, the cardiac impacts of printer-emitted particles (PEPs) are u...

E-cigarettes and their lone constituents induce cardiac arrhythmia and conduction defects in mice
Abstract
E-cigarette use has surged, but the long-term health effects remain unknown. E-cigarette aerosols containing nicotine and acrolein, a combustion and e-cigarette byproduct, may impair cardiac electrophysiology through autonomic imbalance...

Nicotine Formulation Influences the Autonomic and Arrhythmogenic Effects of Electronic Cigarettes.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Evidence is mounting that electronic cigarette (e-cig) use induces cardiac sympathetic dominance and electrical dysfunction conducive to arrhythmias and dependent upon nicotine. A variety of nicotine types and concentration...

Smoking-associated electrocardiographic abnormalities predict cardiovascular mortality
Abstract
Background —Smoking is associated with arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, but the biological mechanisms remain unclear. In electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings abnormal durations of ventricular repolarization (QT interval), atrial depol...

Influence of E-cigarettes and Their Constituents on Cardiac Rhythm and Arrhythmias.
Abstract
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) have rapidly gained popularity in the past twenty years. However, the health impacts of their use remain unclear. E-cigs generate aerosols by heating e-liquids containing solvent vehicles, nicotine, additi...

Modification of associations between ambient PM2.5 and vital signs by β-blocker prescription status among individuals with heart failure
Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity, especially among individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, such as heart failure (HF). Medical management with β-blockers may modify the associa...

Don't Go Vaping My Heart: E-cigarette Exposure During Pregnancy Promotes Peripartum Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sympathetic Dominance.
Abstract
Electronic cigarettes (E-cigs) are commonly presumed as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes despite limited understanding of their health risks. This assumption may lead people, especially those in at-risk groups, to switch fr...
