E-cigarettes and their lone constituents induce cardiac arrhythmia and conduction defects in mice

The use of E-cigarettes has increased despite the unknown long-term effects. Here the authors show that e-cigarette aerosols alter cardiac conduction, repolarization, and autonomic regulation in mice, contingent on the chemical composition of e-liquids and partly through parasympathetic modulation.
