Effects of Electronic Cigarette Exposure on Myocardial Infarction and No-Reflow, and Cardiac Function in a Rat Model

Abstract

E-cig exposure did not increase myocardial infarct size or worsen the no-reflow phenomenon, but induced deleterious changes in LV structure leading to cardiovascular dysfunction and increased systemic arterial resistance after coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion.
