It is well known that the use of electronic cigarettes can create problems in the long run.
But as if that wasn’t enough, a study conducted by the American College of Cardiology highlighted the links between ‘vaping’ and heart failure, stating that users have a significant chance (almost 20%) of developing heart failure compared to those who don’t. have never used.
The study involved approximately 175,000 participants and of these 3,242 developed heart failure within 45 months using the electronic cigarette.
The risk was found to be more significant especially in relation to heart failure in which the heart muscle becomes stiff and does not fill adequately with blood between one contraction and another (diastolic heart failure).
The researchers also underlined that further investigations will be carried out on the potential impacts of vaping on heart health especially bearing in mind that e-cigarettes are widespread among young people.
Heart failure or heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It is a condition that does not appear suddenly but develops slowly and can cause debilitating symptoms and frequent hospital admissions.
