We are testing the idea that chronic use of nicotine through e-cigarette inhalation alters the activity of the involuntary or autonomic nervous system and also directly stimulates nicotinic receptors on inflammatory cells. Both processes increase inflammation and fibrosis and predispose to heart disease. We are concerned because e-cigarette (e-cig) popularity has increased dramatically over the past decade and has grown to include use by individuals with no prior history of cigarette smoking nor other nicotine use. There are very limited available data concerning the chronic effects of nicotine delivered by e-cigs, although there is evidence that blood nicotine levels and heart rate increases can be as high as those associated with conventional cigarettes. Cigarette smoking leads to dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, altering the balance between its two divisions i.e. the sympathetic/vagal balance. Remarkably, the development of heart failure has also been associated with similar imbalance, ...
