ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Smoke from traditional cigarettes and e-cigarette aerosols have distinct chemical compositions that may impact blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) differently.AIMS:
This study compared the impact of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (EC+) versus nicotine-free (EC-) on BP, HR and endothelial markers, and assessed if EC+ posed fewer risks than tobacco cigarettes (TC).METHODS:
Electronic databases were searched from inception until November 2023 for studies reporting changes in systolic and diastolic BP (SBP, DBP) and HR and endothelial parameters before and after the use of EC+, EC- and TC. Data were analyzed using weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).RESULTS:
Fifteen studies (n = 752) were included in our meta-analysis. We demonstrate that EC+ significantly increased systolic BP (WMD = 3.41, 95% CI [0.1,6.73], p = 0.04], diastolic BP (WMD = 3.42, 95% CI [1.75, 5.09]; p < 0.01], and HR (WMD = 5.36 BPM, 95% CI [1.87, 8.85]; p < 0.01) compared to EC-. However, EC+ was observed to cause less detrimental effect on SBP (WMD = - 4.72 mmHg, 95% CI [- 6.58, - 2.86], p < 0.01), and HR (WMD = - 3.11 BPM, 95% CI [- 4.54, - 1.68]; p < 0.01) as compared to TC with no difference on DBP (WMD = - 1.14 mmHg, 95% CI [- 2.38, 0.1]; p = 0.07). EC+ also led to greater deterioration of endothelial parameters as compared to EC- but to a lesser degree as compared to TC.CONCLUSION:
EC+ shows greater impairment in hemodynamic and endothelial parameters than EC- but less than TC. Additional studies are needed to evaluate prolonged effects of EC use.Key words
