Abstract

Electronic cigarettes have gained popularity as a nicotine delivery system, which has been recommended by some as an aid to help people quit traditional smoking. The potential long-term effects of vaping on the cardiovascular system, as well as how their effects compare with those from standard cigarettes, are not well understood. The intrinsic frequency (IF) method is a systems approach for analysis of left ventricle and arterial function. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated the diagnostic and prognostic value of IF. Here, we aim to determine whether the novel IF metrics derived from carotid pressure waveforms can detect effects of nicotine (delivered by chronic exposure to electronic cigarette vapor or traditional cigarette smoke) on the cardiovascular system.
