Abstract

The long-term effects of chronic electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) exposure on lung and heart inflammation during the healing phase of myocardial infarction (MI) remain unexplored. Additionally, the impact of e-cigarette exposure on blood parameters in this context is unclear. This study aims to assess e-cigarette with nicotine (e-cig Nic+) effects on lung histology, inflammatory gene expression in cardiac tissue, and blood parameters during MI recovery.
